Additional InformationDutch filmmaker Paul Verhoeven made his name in Hollywood with films such as ROBOCOP, BASIC INSTINCT, and STARSHIP TROOPERS. But Verhoeven got his start in the industry by making films (the acclaimed SPETTERS and SOLDIER OF ORANGE among them) in his native country, and it's to Holland that he returns for BLACK BOOK--his first Dutch film in 20 years. The story is set during the final days of World War II in Holland, and follows a Jewish singer named Rachel Stein (Carice Van Houten). Rachel attempts to avoid the Nazis and remains in quiet hiding until her family is brutally slain, causing her to join up with a resistance movement. On a subsequent undercover mission, Rachel crosses paths with a smitten German general named Ludwig Muntze (Sebastian Koch), with whom Rachel begins a relationship in order to feed vital information back to her colleagues in the resistance. But as the action and bloodshed escalate, Rachel realises that she has genuine feelings for Muntze, and soon she is in enormous danger. Verhoeven's film is wildly ambitious and takes many intriguing twists and turns during its 146 minutes. BLACK BOOK commanded the largest budget of any film to be produced in Holland, and it shows. Explosions litter the screen, plenty of car chases ensue, and wince-inducing injuries and deaths propel the action. The director isn't afraid to criticise his fellow countrymen and inserts a fascinating subtext about the actions of the resistance fighters, asking some uncomfortable questions about the similarities between their behavior and that of the Nazis. Van Houten lights up the screen throughout and is surely destined for bigger things, and while the tumultuous experiences her character undergoes might push the boundaries of reality at times, Verhoeven has pointed out in interviews that Rachel is a composite character who encompasses the merged experiences of many real people from the era.
ReviewsEmpire - Memorable and passionate. Worth seeing, Daily Mail - A cracking thriller [...] one of the most gripping war movies ever, Total Film - BLACK BOOK is brisk, frisky and glossed with a fine Hollywood sheen, Uncut - For all its feisty sense of fun, BLACK BOOK is too dark and smart to let its characters fade out into a soft-focus happy-ever-after

  • The Black Book!

    Well it has subtitles, so if that bothers you, then don't buy it or watch it. There is a story running thru this which keeps you guessing (unless you work it out quicker than I did) as to who the real villains are. War time as it probably was when jews were being killed by Nazis. I would argue its worth watching as it does have a good story line and even features Nazis trying to escape after the end of the war.

  • Best WWII film

    Black Book is undoubtedly one of the best films about the Second World War. Not surprisingly, I may add, if we take the cast and crew into consideration. The story line is engaging, acting is beautifully done (Sebastian Koch is just his usual, flawless self, and Carice van Houten is amazing as Ellis). The realism of how the different languages are used in the film and the individualistic portrayal of the characters just makes Black Book perfect.

  • Thrilling story

    This film Black Book has to rate among the Best films l hAve seen in many years. The story line is superb the acting second to none. I believe that the actor's taking part made this film over a number of years without pay. This film is a credit to those who made it. It is an absolutely wonderful film right to the closing minutes. ENJOY from vicky

  • Good storyline.

    Although a trilingual film it doesn't detract from a good thriller. I really enjoyed the film as entertainment.
