A Love to Hide

A Love to Hide (French title: Un amour à taire) is a french movie made for television which was aired in 2005. The movie revolves around the very depressing and horrifying Nazi war. 

The movie does not depict gore or violence like any other movie talking about the same subject. It shakes you from an emotional front. The story progresses in such a way that the war ends up being a very minuscule element, serving just a back drop to the movie.



The screen play of the movie is very gripping. Therefore, there isn't a lag in the story progression. The actors are pretty convincing in their roles, therefore even though you're dependent on the sub titles while watching the movie, you don't feel any kind of a disconnect with the movie. 


The movie describes the catastrophic effects of war on a complex relationship and how it effects a family as a whole. The movie also raises a questions on religion-based bias and how an entire world blinded by war, fails to understand that love is beyond every man-made segregation of religion, race and country.

Considering that the movie is a war-based one, it selectively picks up a smaller story in a larger scenario. However, the story that's told is commendable as it's unique and does make a connect at an emotional level. A serious movie watch-er won't be disappointed after watching this one. 


My rating- 3/5
