Based on a true story via the book In the Sewers of Lvov by Roberty Marshall. Leopold Socha (Robert Wieckiewicz) is a sewer worker and petty thief in Lvov, a Nazi-occupied city in Poland. One day, he encounters a group of Jews trying to escape the liquidation of the ghetto. He hides them for money in the labyrinth of the town's sewers beneath the bustling activity of the city above. Initially a straightforward and cynical business arrangement, it soon turns into something unexpected, an unlikely alliance between Socha and the Jews.
In Darkness was nominated for a Best Foreign Film Academy Award.
"One might think that years and years of seeing Holocaust movies would create an immunity, a point at which you can feel no more. But in fact, it works the other way." --Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle (full review)
"Holland is properly unsparing about the casual sadism of the German military, but she resolutely sidesteps the sentimental oppressor-victim division that distorts so much pop-Holocaust narrative today." --Ella Taylor, NPR (full review)
"In a world where everyone was looking for an angle, hoping to survive the nightmare and maybe even turn other people's misery into a tidy profit, the fact that a fragile humanity survived at all is little short of a miracle." --Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times (full review)
