Black Book (2006)

Beautifully made, with some great performances, and a script that deftly portrays the complexities and horrors of war while never falling into despair porn. It does take a turn for the pulpy, which feels a little dissonant with the more sober first half, but it always keeps its eye on the ethical and spiritual stakes.

Rating: Very good.
