Black Book - Dir: Paul Verhoeven

From Paul Verhoeven, the director of such well known films as Basic Instinct, Robocop and Total Recall, comes this much more intimate but no less exciting film. The story centering around a Jewish woman that infiltrates a German HQ on behalf of the Dutch resistance is filled with twists, action, drama, and emotion. The characters speak in their native languages throughout the film and thus everything is subtitled. However this doesn't detract at all and if anything lures you further in to the world of the piece. The relatively unknown lead Carice Van Houten is absolutely amazing. This is definitely a JM RECOMMENDS.
