not yetwith an adult, or to talk about afteralonethe sweet spot

The official US rating is R, and we never go below it. Alone from 17, and not before, even with an adult.

The sweet spot: around 17, when you are studying the Second World War, and can ask whether a resistance fighter has the right to kill. Why a sweet spot?

Official US rating: R. In France, zinema would say 14.

What it's about

On the brink of the Second World War, a young Norwegian man's drive to resist the Nazis sets a new course for his future – and the future of his country.

Why 17

The official rating, firstRated R in the US (restricted, under 17 requires an accompanying parent). zinema never goes below the country's rating: it explains it.
rule
Executions of collaborators and tortureThe hero and his men kill traitors, sometimes in cold blood; comrades tortured by the Gestapo, a man stabbed, a suicide to avoid talking. Blood in close-up in one scene, gunfire several times.
Sabotage and shootoutsExplosions, attacks on factories, half a minute of gunfire, an escape under fire; arrests at night.
Little swearing, a couple's sceneSix swear words in French, a suggested bed scene, period cigarettes.

What the movie brings

The true story of Gunnar Sønsteby, told by himself as an old man in front of high-school students: the question of what one has the right to do.
The Norwegian resistance, less known than the French one, and the same dilemmas.
A film that asks what the dead on either side are worth.

Watching it together

Before

Say beforehand that the resistance fighters execute traitors and that torture is shown; the film alternates with the old man's testimony.

After

at 17 and up

A schoolgirl asks the old man whether he regrets having killed: what would you answer in his place?
