During World War II in the freezing winter of 1944-45 the western Netherlands are in the grip of a famine. Many people move east to provide for their families. Fourteen year old Michiel can't wait to join the Dutch resistance, to the dismay of his father, who, as mayor, works to prevent escalations in the village.

We're back with another coming-of-age story, set during our all-time favorite era: World War II. Yupeee!
But seriously, even though it's a bit absurd the amount of war movies the Europeans seem to make, I have to give them credit, they do an excellent job of exploiting this to give us this series of great films that highlight the human element in times where humanity seems to have entirely vanished. This time around, the protagonist is a young guy who resents his father for being loyal to the Germans in order to preserve his family and the village. When his disruptive uncle visits, his natural disposition toward…
When it comes to movies, we Dutch traditionally specialized in two things: sleazy trash and WWII movies. Winter in Wartime falls in the latter category (obviously). It was shortlisted for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2009 Academy Awards, but it didn't end up getting nominated. Maybe if it was actually a sleazy movie, it would have? I don't know. Probably not. Martin Koolhoven (Brimstone) still should've made the sex scene between Jack and Erica more explicit, is all I'm saying. 🔥 ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
This was certainly well made, but I didn't think it was anything too special. If only it had more intrigue, more excitement and a little less rabbit skinning (sorry, Michelle).
When it comes to European films I'm normally guided in my choices by a few fellow LBers from the continent who help steer me in the right direction when it comes to foreign language films. Guys Like Krommedijk, who put me on to this one a while back, knows I like war films, Dutch ones especially, and this one lived up to the rating my mate gave it. Now my Dutch isn't great, but this is entitled Oorlogswinter in its native tongue, and although director Martin Koolhoven is a new name for me, I also bought his film Brimstone after another recommendation from Krommedijk. Anyone with even a passing interest in Dutch cinema should follow him, I've learned more reading…
Teachers in elementary schools in the Netherlands could make a religion out of this movie
This is not what you think. I didn't watch Winter in Wartime for the fourth time - I'd give it four stars anyway. I had a great evening. The director of Brimstone and Winter of Wartime came to our local theater for an evening about film. He's travelling through the country to share the passion and explain stuff.
He showed and explained scenes from Winter in wartime, Brimstone, Jaws, Rear Window, Once upon a time in the West, Kramer v Kramer, and Michael Caine about the importance of watching the tape while filming. There was a lot of attention to the narrative aspect of film, film as a medium and the technical aspect of film. Two hours were planned in advance, but it lasted three hours. If that ain't love for film I don't know what is.
Although I haven’t seen a skinned rabbit in 30+ years, the smell immediately came back to me. Thanks for having that olfactory memory unlocked, Lou. ;)

Winter in Wartime is just what the title says it is, war is hell it creates struggles and in the cold it brings famine to many, during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands is where 14 year old Michiel lives with his parents with whom his father is the towns Mayor, and for the well being of his people he plays both sides of the fence when it comes to saving his people and getting along with the Nazi's, much to the dismay of Michiel who wants to be apart of the resistance.
Winter in Wartime is another well done film showcasing the terrible times of ww2 and the Nazi occupation. following one young boys despise of the times, and his desire to help in the resistance.
no wonder vecna has trauma
Michiel is a klootzak
Pretty unconventional Spider-Man movie, but I look forward to seeing Michiel in the next Spiderverse
What the fuck doet die gast van Stranger Things hier
