Movie Info

Through a family and the relation between father and son, the film describes the dilemmas of the Danish population during World War II. Like the government, the farmers and the industry, the father, a successful owner of a big electronics factory, tries to make the best of the situation to keep the wheels rolling. However this leads him into a problematic collaboration with the Germans. His son, on the contrary, reacts against the increasing oppression and persecution of Jews and communists by joining the rising resistance movement.

Critic Reviews for De Forbandede År

All Critics (6) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (5) | Rotten (1)

While the performances are unquestionably robust, this verbose and overlong saga would have been better as a TV series.

Linda Marric
The Jewish Chronicle
As you watch, there is a shivery sense of a nation reckoning with its past. For international viewers, it's perhaps a little less resonant, but engrossing nonetheless.

Robbie Collin
Daily Telegraph (UK)
If you have 152 minutes to sink into this morass of moral complexity and finely observed period detail, then it may well be worth it, although the ending is bizarrely, perplexingly abrupt.

Leslie Felperin
Guardian
Unfortunately the script doesn't translate to dynamic filmmaking; the movie plays like a familiar, period drama.

Saskia Baron
The Arts Desk
The strength and weakness of Into the Darkness comes from a willingness to let events slowly unfold.

Rob Aldam
Backseat Mafia
An over-stuffed, frenetically busy, hugely talkative, but always watchable and engaging yarn about one family's fortunes of war.
