A few days ago I watched an excellent moviie on Netflix. It is a 2021 Danish movie entitled "Skyggen i mit oje" or "The Shadow in My Eye".
The movie takes place in 1945 during the final days of the Nazi occupation of Denmark and is based on a true story. I'm not going to give away the plot, but it is a powerful story that ranks with the recent remake of "All Quiet on the Western Front" as a harrowing depiction of the horror of war.
Usually, I will watch a movie while eating my dinner, and when I finish my meal, I save the rest of the movie for the next day. This film, however, was so gripping that I HAD to continue until the end. The seemingly disparate threads of the story may seem a little confusing at the beginning, but they all come together. Emotionally, it is not an easy movie to watch, but it is a superb piece of filmmaking. Highly recommended!
Now it's on my Netflix list!
