Trivia:
This film was the official Netherlands entry for the Best Foreign Language Film category at the 79th Academy Awards. It was on the shortlist of nine films competing for a nomination, but it did not make it to the final five, announced on the 23 January 2007. moreGoofs:
Anachronisms: When at the end of the movie characters Rachel and Smaal are pursuing Akkermans lying in a coffin in the hearse, the scene shot at the dyke reveal trees in fall foliage, i.e. they are browning, meaning that this scene was shot sometime in late September or during October. This part of the story is set in the month of May when, in 1945, the actual liberation of this part of Holland took part. moreSoundtrack:

I have been eagerly waiting to see 'Zwartboek' the past months. Finally it premiered in Holland today and i immediately rushed to cinema to be one of the first to see it. Beforehand i didn't watch any trailer nor read any review so i went in completely not knowing what to expect.
The movie starts a bit messy. Not knowing what it wants and where it wants to go. But as soon as things are set the roller-coaster ride begins. Carice and Sebastian are simply outstanding. Together they really carry the movie. The story however is predictable at times, but the awesome production quality (for dutch standards) and fast paced action really make up for it.
The overall message (which i will not give away) is something to think about. See the movie and judge for yourself.
I have heard this will be sent in for the Oscars. As much as i would want Paul to win i don't think it will happen. There will be other movies with a story less predictable and more surprising. However, my heart would want him to win this and walk out with a big figurative finger pointed at all them critics.
Zwartboek is in my opinion the best dutch production in 20-30 years, maybe even the best dutch movie since Soldier of Orange. It doesn't disappoint, it doesn't bore and it will give you a ride which you won't forget. It is also the breakthrough of Carice van Houten. Rave reviews from Venice compare her to Scarlett Johansson, but even better. Future will tell...
For now, go see this! And for Paul: please stay in Holland and make dutch cinema proud again.
