A film by Paul Verhoeven. An untold story of World War II. She changes her identity. She infiltrates the enemy. Accused of betrayal from both sides. Now she must fight to save her life. A relentlessly gripping thriller about the Dutch underground, "Black Book" is set in the early fall of 1944 during World War II. The film is based on true events that span nearly a year around Rachel Stein (Carice van Houten) a young, pretty Jewish singer who falls for a high-ranking Gestapo officer (Sebastian Koch) while seeking revenge for her family's murders. Starring some of the Netherlands' most impressive and famous actors, the multi-layered characters find themselves embroiled in a spider's web of intrigue, treachery and betrayal. "Black Book" is a highly stylized film suffused with the intense paranoia Verhoeven evokes so well, where friend and enemy blur together into an indistinguishable line.
