Featured review
history depicted
In this film we follow the storyline of the origins of the resistance during the Second World War in Antwerp from the eyes of the young police officer Wils. The story is told as history actually occurred. All necessary, sometimes cruel, details are included in the film. At times the film is frightening and cruel, giving you a feeling of envy towards history.
The scenes are filmed entirely in the Antwerp dialect, which is sometimes difficult to understand even as a Flemish person. So turning on the subtitles is definitely a must.
The film itself is very structured. We start with a general introduction and quickly get started with the effective storyline. The events follow each other in quick succession and you continue to be triggered to look up. However, there is a time jump halfway through the film, which suddenly makes it seem a bit confusing and it takes a while before you realize what just happened.
