Contrast
17 March 2012
This movie makes an superb contrast to the Dutch movie "For a Lost Soldier" (1992).

This Dutch movie is from a book by a choreographer. The novel, which is openly autobiographical, is much more inflammatory than the movie.

Among other things, the movie shows that a superb director and cast can retain good taste as they depict things that some might find offensive.

Other than to say that the theme of the novel and movie is that there is no life without Eros, Passion, I say nothing for or against either.

The opening of the movie shows how the Dutch middle class saved their children from starvation during the final days of World War II.
