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.

There's a great range of narrative in this movie, but the ending is lopped off to the point where I don't think there will be anyone who isn't confused by it.

You'd think this chapter in Danish history would inspire passion in a native filmmaker, but the movie lacks fervency.

This is not Luchino Visconti's "The Damned," which turned a similar premise into a nearly unwatchable miasma of grotesquerie. But neither is "Into the Darkness" more than watchable.

It doesn't end -- it stops... It's as though the two-and-a-half hours you've invested were a complete waste.

7/10

How do you reconcile major differences, like party affiliations, within a family? Into the Darkness serves as a keen portrait of a deeply divided country, unsure of where its allegiance lies.

C

Too cluttered, disjointed and ultimately inconclusive to register much of an emotional impact.
