Zwartboek(2006) (Dutch)

Genre: Drama/Thriller

Zwartboek is one of those type of movies which you might have seen where Nazi group tries to eliminate the Jews. Zwartboek is a usual drama with equal amounts of crime, thriller and suspense which will hold you back at your seats. Rachel , a Jew whose house is been bombed by German Troops and has trouble hiding. Soon a crew of people along with her parents gets murdered leaving her alone to be alive. She somehow gets sucked into Nazi Resistance group. She starts working under the leadership of Kuipers. Kuipers son gets caught while smuggling weapons. Kuipers asks Rachel to seduce the General inorder to set Kuipers son free. Things start tangling in many different Manner. Situations arise in such a way that Rachel herself finds in a fix among with her Resistance group. Zwartboek aka Black Book is a movie which is about trust, love and betrayal. Rachel being the Protagonist of the movie has given her 100% to her role. Look out for the scene where she herself tries to color her hair to disguise herself as a German. Though 2 hr 30 mins might be a long watch. But it’s a movie which you will not regret. Nicely Done.

Rating: 3/5- Good.
