Zwartboek/ Black Book (2006)

Rating:	★★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Foreign

From the guy that gave us Robocop, Total Recall, Basic Instinct and Starship Troopers comes this Dutch World War Two (WWII) drama.

I thought Paul Verhoeven's name looks familiar, and his signature of "(e)xplicitly violent and/or sexual content" are all back~ and yes, this is rated M18, and only available at the Cathay Picturehouse in Singapore.

This is actually not a bad story, as we follow the story of a young Jewish woman in the ending days of WWII in the Netherlands. Some smart cine-goers may guess the twist halfway through the show, but it's still a good film. Am glad I caught this ~
