In Darkness

In Darkness (2011) starring Socha Wieckiewicz, Mundek Furmann, Klara Grochowska. In the Polish city of Lvov, during the dark days of World War II, a group of Jews hide from the Nazis in the city's sewers. Based on a true story, the movie tells of how they are assisted by a Polish sewer worker who is just in it for the money -- at first. Unfortunately, most of the movie takes place, literally, in darkness. The only light is from flashlights, and much of the time the viewer is left to squint and try to make out what's going on. I found the movie both oppressive and depressing to watch, but in the end inspiring. The film was nominated for an Oscar in the Foreign Language movie category. It's in Polish and Yiddish, with English subtitles. The subtitles are very readable. Grade: B
