"Black Book" foreign version of Lust, Caution?
Black Book (Germany) didn't know that the director was Paul Van Hoven until the movie was finished in 2006. Paul Van Hoven is a controversial man. He makes movies seriously and looks good, but he is always criticized. Starship troopers, his masterpiece, makes people excited, but unfortunately it is associated with praising Nazi spirit.

The Black Book is a non-Hollywood work when he returned to his hometown of Holland. The consistent storytelling style, with his repeated criticism of women as the protagonist, tells the thrilling story of a Jewish woman's experiences in the occupied areas of World War II.

The Black Book tells a story of living in white terror, which is very much to Paul Van Hoven's taste. Different from all the mainstream styles, the black book did not eulogize the greatness of human nature, nor did it cry about the atrocities committed by the Nazis against the Jews.
