Winter in Wartime is one of those truly well-crafted motion pictures that rarely get made in today’s dismal movie climate. It is a taut human drama that focuses heavily on the plight of vulnerable and emotional people. Winner of numerous well-deserved awards such as the 2009 Netherlands Film Festival Golden Calf award, Winter in Wartime is quite sensational and now yours to own in a special Blu-ray/DVD combo pack.
The story revolves around Michiel van Beusekom (Martijn Lakemeier), a 13-year-old boy living in Nazi-occupied Holland circa winter of 1945. He belongs to a typical Dutch family consisting of his parents and an older sister. His father Vader (Raymond Thiry) is a mayor who sucks up to the Nazis to ensure the safety of their village. The mother Moeder (Anneke Blok) is passive and content with her station in life and the sister Erica (Melody Klaver) is also rather blasé about everything that’s going on.

Michiel lives in a small village in the Netherlands during World War II. He lives a life of relative privilege as the son of the Mayor, a man Michiel has come to lose respect for because of the Mayor’s acceptance of the Nazis that occupy their village. But Michiel’s eyes open to the realities of war when a friend’s brother asks Michiel to deliver a letter. He meets Resistance fighter/Raf soldier Jack, and realizes that not everything in his small village is as it seems.
Winter in Wartime works on many levels; a story about how Nazi Germany’s invasion of other countries affected a small village in Holland, a coming-of-age story about a boy who takes his first steps towards becoming a man, and an intimate father-son story. This could become a jumbled mess of colliding themes, but in this movie they blend into a satisfying experience.

Chicago – When life collides with history, human beings are often both the perpetrators and the victims. In the excellent film “Winter in Wartime,” a boy grows up quickly when confronted with the realities of that history and life in the last days of World War II.
Rating: 4.5/5.0
What happens to a childhood when the serious implications of wartime becomes the wolf at the door is the main premise of the film. There are bound to be secrets, distrust, intrigue and the unfortunate tragedy. The absorbing story has all of this, and is rendered by the sincere performances of a great cast, especially the young boy at the center of the conflict.
That boy is Michiel (Martijn Lakemeier), a 13 year old boy living in a Nazi-occupied Dutch village in the last months of World War II. His father (Raymond Thiry) is the mayor of the town, and appeases the occupiers in...

Starring: Martijn Lakemeier, Yorick van Wageningen, Jamie Campbell Bower, Raymond Thiry and Melody Klaver
“Winter in Wartime” arrives in U.S. theaters already laden with accolades: Short-listed for the 2009 Academy Award for Foreign Language Film, it’s also won multiple Golden Calves at the Netherlands Film Festival. And, incredibly for a foreign arthouse movie, it also managed to outgross “Twilight.”
Okay, so that was only in the Netherlands. And the marketing edge provided by the longstanding fame of Jan Terlouw’s best-seller of the same name — on which “Winter in Wartime” is based — probably helped propel director Martin Koolhoven’s movie to its impressive commercial showing. But another contributing factor was — and will no doubt continue to be — the broad appeal of this coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of Nazi-occupied Holland.

It is Holland’s entry for the foreign language Oscar and is, after some time, getting a UK release.
