This movie was a masterpiece good enough to get an oscar. It’s sad that it didn’t get enough recognition :(.

Indeed masterpiece. Best of Verhoeven, better than Robocop. Seen it at least 6 times, gripping every time. Great script, big budget, masterful acting by every single actor, especially Carice van Houten. I suspect it's because of authentic languages and subtitles. Americans want just movies where everyone speaks English, with a fake accent. Even if they are a German SD officer or Dutch spy. In my country it's nothing special, because all Hollywood movies are subtitled. In my Top 10 movies of all time.

I just found this as I get special notifications for under the rader films that are pre-2010 The trailer looks great & of course, I will watch it. it was released at a time when i was NOT watching many films. The no-film years as I call them run from 2003-2010. As I have become a true cinephile

Carice van Houten should have won Best Actress for this stunning performance. A great film.

Winner or not, A NOMINATION at least.

This movie was brilliant. I love war movies, the era is extremely fascinating to me, sad and heartbreaking but fascinating ! The amount of people from that time that would have a story to tell! This movie kept you glued from beginning to end, it was realistic, but well done. The actress did an incredible job. Iv seen this movie a few times and each time is as good as the first highly recommend!

When the night *really was* dark and full of terrors.

Watched this film today, what a powerful film.. and a true story.. we haven't got a clue, what life was like in war times.. should have earned a Oscar..

This movie is just awesome. I watched it two weeks ago, and I'm still in love with it. I really enjoy this kind of movies.

I've never seen the actors of Münze and Franken playing that excellent! Verhoeven is some badass of a director.

This is an amazing movie that will hold your attention during the entire movie....Carice van Houten was spectacular and boy I must admit that Sebastian Koch is so handsome and perfect. :D

Do yourself a favour and watch this outstanding film! I really hope Hollywood never decides to remake this classic!

Fantastic movie...just watched again for the second time. Should have been nominated for best picture/actress and not only in foreign category. IMO as good if not better than Life is Beautiful. Can't recommend it highly enough..a must see!

If you have not seen this movie, you simply have to. It's not only perhaps THE best foreign-language (Dutch) films that I've ever seen, I might place it in my favorite 100 films of all time. Action, suspense, intrigue, historical context, and even romance and finally an incredible ending. Hitchcock could not have done any better. While all the acting in incredible, Carice van Houten steals to picture --- not to mention being sexy as hell! However the real beauty of Black Book is that it really make you think. It shows you the ambiguity of humanity. You see the 'human side' of the Nazis in this film and you see viscous actions of the 'good guys' as well. While it does not justify the evils of Nazism, it does convey that there is good and evil on all sides -- and at a more macro level how a basically decent person can be perverted into an evil monster by a horrible system and criminal state --- and that without the tools that exist today to control a society. It's is good warning to us all - in every country.

Carice van Houten is incredible in this role. The way she is able to convey emotions that are boiling under the surface is masterful acting. Meryl Streep has nothing on her. Can't believe how good she is. Also, I would rarely call a woman charismatic, but she is. Her character is playful, witty, brave, beautiful. A great female heroine, up there with Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley. It's such a shame that almost nobody in United States has seen this movie. It has all the Hollywood bells and whistles, all you need to do is bear with the subtitles

This movie and Downfall are without a doubt, the best WW2 movies. Ever.

One of the best movie I’ve ever seen . The actress was incredible and should have won best actress.

Verhoeven's Soldier of Orange and The Black Book are the two most neglected great films I know. And the two films that I have turned on more friends to and been thanked than any others. Nothing but edge of seat excitement, AND both based on true stories.

Being unable to speak French is a hindrance to learning all the subtle nuances in this story. Even so, it is a powerful tale. Of that much we are certain

Saw the movie yesterday, incredibly moving and an absolute must see for anyone in N.America. A real winner!

Worth watching. Good film. It's great to see films from other countries! :)

Really a very entertaining movie , from start to finish. Just watched it on Prime, Hollywood pay attention.

Really enjoyed this movie, despite the grim reality of that priod of time. Well done!

Fantastic movie, whys the trailer upload quality so bad

This is really nice movie...i did enjoy this story a lot

Dutch sounds very very close to German - to my untrained ear - and yes there are times when German sounds like whole sentences in English. Good film; I came away from that film still highly engaged in afterthought about it and the life of this woman - the lives of many women and what they - and everyone in general had to hustle to get through it all in one piece. How many post-war children- of wars all around the world had mother's who were brave and active -many many more than we know.

This is one of the only Verhoeven movies I haven't seen. I'm gonna have to throw this in the Netflix queue. Just think...if he made this instead of "Hollow Man," he might actually still have a career in the US. He'd be kinda like Wolfgang Petersen, just with worse career decisions...

I have never seen this but I plan to look for it. It looks interesting. I love WWII movies.

Fantastic movie ! !

i loved it! amazing film!

I'm dutch, and I'm not really good at German though. Though we have words kind of in general looking alike. Pronunciation is definitely VERY different. Dutch is harder and direct, more kind of spoken 'in the front of the mouth'. And the accents are pretty much different too when they speak english. IMO. But maybe that's from my dutch perspective.

es una pelicula bellisima!

yihaa dutch rules! i love carice, she's so good!

Very good movie !

As someone who's made a study of the resistance in Holland in the war years can I comment. None of the scenes in the film ever happeneed. It was a Dutch film company trying to be Hollywood. I'm glad they lost all their money. Holland has a great culture and a story to tell but this was'nt it.. It might aswell been made by Walt Dinsney. Dutch history on resistance in those years deserves more.

Yes... Just watched it on SIA

paul verhoeven is good, he made more films about treu storys in the war

Pellicola molto bella basata in modo romanzato sulla storia vera della combattente della resistenza olandese Esmée van Eeghen, la sceneggiatura è interessante e in certi parti stimolante, però in certi punti è ridicola, con parecchie ingenuità e incongruenze.

Well, it did, eventually.. But keep in mind it's wartime, gunshots and bombs going off in the distance is not unheard of. And the Germans were doing raids where they shoot people all the time, like we see in the movie in one scene. There was night time curfew, for a reason. Civilians would just shut their drapes and hope it's not for them

It is not based on a book / novel. It is a retelling of a true story reconstructed based on a book / ledger and the stories of people related to that. The little book that is in the film.
