Angry Harvest

This remarkable Academy Award-nominated film by renowned filmmaker Agnieszka Holland tells a compelling story of love and desire during World War II. Middle-aged, lonely farmer Leon (Armin Mueller-Stahl) rescues the younger Rosa, an upper-class Jewish refugee, as she is fleeing from the Nazis. While he nurses her back to health, their relationship gradually grows more intimate, but disintegrates into a cat-and-mouse power struggle as Leon's mixed motives in hiding Rosa emerge. One of the boldest Holocaust films ever made, Angry Harvest is a fascinating, multilayered portrait of two flawed people forced to depend on each other as war takes its ultimate toll.
