Protektor

Czech

Stylish, sometimes surreal portrait of life under Nazi occupation 1938-1942. We follow a popular radio reporter with a Jewish wife who collaborates with the Germans until he just can't stand it any longer.

Slick-looking production with an unusual sound design/musical soundtrack. The characters were well drawn, complex rather than sympathetic...fully formed people with flaws but retaining their fundamental decency in the face of monstrous circumstances.

Intelligent, adult film.
