Yes...Thanks so much for your wonderful comment Sam. Yes, I do remember you liked the film which was a relief for me as I had already picked the film for this spotlight. So your praise comforted me that I had picked a worthy candidate.Sachinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13227932224402555942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942068.post-1757741608654483902012-05-07T20:38:00.578-07:002012-05-07T20:38:00.578-07:00Sachin, as you might remember I like WINTER IN WAR...Sachin, as you might remember I like WINTER IN WARTIME quite a bit and completely agree with you on the exceptional use of snow for some of the film's set pieces, including the one on the lake. Young Martijn Lakemaier gives an exceptional performance in his accelerated coming-of-age in this often tense and harrowing drama, one where you can feel the all-encompassing snow and cold. For the most part, director Koolhaven keeps the drama and action working together intensely.<br /><br />I am really looking forward Smits' film, especially after your glowing appraisal and comparison to the Dardennes.<br /><br />Beautiful work here!Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
