Worth Watching
The Resistance Banker (Netflix) .- Set in Amsterdam during the German occupation, this film follows the brave work of Wally van Hall in establishing and running a secret underground bank to fund the resistance. Like Schindler's List and Sophie’s Choice, it conveys the horror of the Nazi movement in a way that feels real. Not as the robotic, one-dimensional evil that’s so easy to reject, but in a subtler and more complicated way that has you asking yourself: “What would I do?” This is a good movie. It was nominated for an unprecedented 11 Golden Calvesat the 2018 Netherlands Film Festival and won four of them, including Best Feature Film and Best Actor.
