Spring in January

About This Movie

So, 'Spring in January' is really intriguing if you're into war dramas with a twist. It delves into the lives of families hiding underground during the Nazi occupation of Belgrade, which gives it this intense, claustrophobic feel. The pacing is slow but deliberate, allowing the tension to build as they navigate their harrowing reality. I found the character of Mark, the profiteer, quite fascinating—his moral ambiguity adds layers to the story. The atmosphere is heavy and somber, yet there's a strange resilience portrayed throughout. The performances don’t really stand out in the traditional sense, but they fit the desperate tone of the narrative well. It's distinct in how it blurs the lines of survival and complicity, really making you think.
