Winter in Wartime [Blu-ray] Reviews

Winter in Wartime is an engrossing and suspenseful film which depicts life in Nazi-occupied Holland during the final winter of World War II. Based upon a semi-autographical novel by the Dutch writer Jan Terlouw, Winter in Wartime shows the occupation as seen through the eyes of Michiel (Martijen Lakemeier), a 14-year old boy. It is January, 1945, and the tide of war has turned inexorably against Germany, which nonetheless has maintained control of Holland since 1940. A substantial portion of Holland was liberated by the Allies in the fall of 1944, but the northern and western provinces remained in control of the Nazis. What followed is what the Dutch people called the "hunger winter," when Germany cut off food and fuel shipments to 4.5 million civilians in retaliation for a railway strike.
