March 15, 1939: Germany invades Czechoslovakia. Czech and Slovak pilots flee to England, joining the RAF. After the war, back home, they are put in labor camps, suspected of anti-Communist ideas. This film cuts between a post-war camp where Franta is a prisoner and England during the war, where Franta is like a big brother to Karel, a very young pilot. On maneuvers, Karel crash lands by the rural home of Susan, an English woman whose husband is MIA. She spends one night with Karel, and he thinks he's found the love of his life. It's complicated by Susan's attraction to Franta. How will the three handle innocence, Eros, friendship, and the heat of battle? When war ends, what then?
Leave your thoughts about Dark Blue World.
| TimeRichard SchickelThe last word you'd expect for it is "sweet," yet it is exactly the right one. That may come as no surprise to some, since the director is Jan Sverak, who brought sweetness to his breakthrough film "Koyla," but it caught me by total surprise. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThe aerial-dogfight scenes, which are beautiful and shot through with jittery panic, are notable for not being staged for videogame kicks. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrWhatever Dark Blue World lacks in pyrotechnics it makes up for with richly drawn characters, high drama and pointed historical ironies. |
| Miami HeraldMarta BarberDark Blue World's warm story and beautiful photography almost hits the mark, and it has a great ending. |
| South Florida Sun-SentinelTodd AnthonySolid writing and endearing performances steer it clear of the usual mawkish traps. |
| OregonianShawn LevyTakes an astounding piece of history and squanders it in cliches, sentimentality and cheap dramatics. |
| Washington PostStephen HunterSverak has a great feeling for the glories of airplanes, and the technical resources in the picture are astounding. |
| VarietyDerek ElleySverak's sheer technical finesse, and ability to spin on a dime between comedy and tragedy, the personal and the historical, makes Dark Blue World succeed where other similarly themed movies, from "Battle of Britain" to "The Blue Max," seem heavy-handed by comparison. |
| San Francisco ChronicleBob GrahamA crackerjack combination of live action, special effects and recycled footage. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaDark Blue World is "Pearl Harbor" without the product placements, without the Hollywood bombast, and certainly without the $100-million-plus budget. |
