Israel 1956. Rachel, a Jew, rather unexpectedly meets an old friend at the kibbutz where she is working as a teacher. It brings back memories of her experiences in The Netherlands during the war, memories of betrayal. September 1944. Rachel is in trouble when her hiding place is bombed by allied troops. She gets in contact with a man from the resistance and joins a group of Jews who are to be smuggled across the Biesbosch by boat to the freed South Netherlands. Germans from a patrol boat murder them all however. Only Rachel is able to escape. She is rescued by a resistance group under the leadership of Gerben Kuipers. When Kuipers' son is captured after trying to smuggle weapons, he asks Rachel to seduce SS-hauptsturmführer Ludwig Müntze. Soon she will find out the attack in the Biesbosch wasn't a coincidence.
Leave your thoughts about Black Book.
| South Florida Sun-SentinelLaura KellyA while back, Steven Soderbergh released his salute to '40s war dramas with The Good German. He should've just let Paul Verhoeven do it. |
| PremiereGlenn KennyBlack Book is Verhoeven's best film since "RoboCop": audacious, smart, shamelessly entertaining. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumLike much of Verhoeven's best work, it's shamelessly melodramatic, but in its dark moral complexities it puts "Schindler's List" to shame. Van Houten and Sebastian Koch (The Lives of Others) are only two of the standouts in an exceptional cast. |
| Baltimore SunChris KaltenbachIn less accomplished hands, Black Book could have been a hopeless mishmash. But Verhoeven proves a sure-handed storyteller, which might come as a surprise, as well as a terrific visual stylist, which shouldn't. |
| Orlando WeeklyJohn ThomasonVerhoeven has pulled off a feat many auteurs seek but few accomplish: He's made a film that is both utterly accessible and wholly personal, sensationalistic enough for his die-hard fans and prestigious enough for the Lives of Others crowd. |
| NewsBlazeKam WilliamsAbsorbing from start to finish, this might be the first flick to interpret a Holocaust tale of survival as a highly-stylized, erotic, espionage thriller. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersReturning to the Netherlands has been a godsend for Verhoeven, energizing his talents and focusing his directorial powers like never before. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertBlack Book is a crackling good melodrama -- inspired, remarkably, by actual events -- with few clearly defined heroes and villains. |
| Cinema ScopeRobert Koehler... [Director Paul Verhoeven] revels in cinema's powers of deception, to conceal and then reveal reality, to cover subversive ideas inside the armour of genre. |
| Philadelphia WeeklySean BurnsA return to magnificently cynical form for director Paul Verhoeven... it takes takes brass ones to set such gaudy, sexy, rip-snorting comic-book entertainment in the shadow of the Holocaust. |
