Occupied Territory

Original title: Bezet gebied

Bezet gebied ('Occupied Territory') is the first feature-length Dutch fiction film to deal with World War II, and was made in a documentary style. Dutch diva Ellen Vogel is stunning in her feature debut, in spite of the mediocre image quality. We're showingt a digitalisation of a version that underwent analogue conservation in 1983. It's not a restoration, so the image quality is average.
