In Darkness

In Darkness is certainly an apt title for the latest from Europa, Europa director Agnieszka Holland: It describes the film on every level...

...this moving war flick is a nerve-jangling odyssey into the underground world.

There is release at the end of this fine film, but no euphoria; just a sense of having come through a period of evil, the memory of whose darkness will never entirely lift.

…mycket sevärd och berättar en viktig historia…

Darker than even the sewers it uses as its milieu, Holland's film is unrelenting in its exploration of the limits of cruelty and the birth pangs of humanity.
