Resistance (2011)
Based on the novel of
the same name this film directed by Amit Gupta stars Andrea
Riseborough, Tom Wlaschiha and Michael Sheen. In an alternate 1944
Britain is invaded by Germany and the women of a Welsh valley are
left to deal with the occupiers by their husbands.
While the premise of
this film is fairly interesting the plot never really goes anywhere,
preferring to skirt around the issues rather than get to grips with
them. Wales provides an excellent backdrop for the film with some
stunning scenery but that is about the best thing in this film.
Unfortunately I think this is another case of trying to take a novel
where all the conflict is internal and trying to transfer it to a
medium that specialises in external conflict.
2/5
