Verhoeven’s first directing in his native Holland in 20 years will give you
a ride you’ll never forget. His notion that there are no obvious villains,
even during a Nazi occupation, will generate incredible discussions.
Black Book begins when Rachel Stein (Carice van Houten) sees her farm
hideout blown to bits. She picks herself up, dusts herself off and flings
herself into the arms of a dashing rescuer, the first to accompany her
through intrigue and romance in a story like few others.
Despite a great deal of controversy, there has been rising popular
acceptance of this exciting film. Its most provocative image, a Holocaust
survivor behind a barbed-wire fence on a 1956 Israeli kibbutz, indicates
that Jewish survival remains a never-ending story
