You could take this, I guess, as a convincing dramatization of courage. In Holland, as in other occupied countries, acts of resistance were [carried] out with exemplary coolness. A browse [through] Elsa Caspers’s To Save a Life: Memoirs of a Dutch Resistance Courier, published in 1995, confirms as much, and I suspect that Caspers was a useful source for Verhoeven and his co-screenwriter, Gerard Soeteman. 

To Save a Life, however, is rooted in [moral] stamina and the harshness of deprivation; the winter of 1944 and the succeeding months (the time frame of Black Book) saw the Netherlands besieged by famine, 

with people grating tulip bulbs to make soup. 

None of that desperation [pinches] Verhoeven’s film. Resisters and collaborators alike are elegantly dressed, with plenty of flesh on the bones, and some of Rachel’s escapades have the casual [air] of a spree.
