Colonia (D: Gallenberger) (S: Emma Watson, D. Brühl, & M. Nyqvist)
Set in 1973, a young couple become entangled in a Chilean military coup at a time when there is much protest on the streets against General Augusto Pinochet. When Daniel is abducted by Pinochet's secret police DINA, Lena tries to find and save her husband. She tracks him to a sealed-off village called "Colonia Dignidad", which presents itself as a charitable mission run by a lay preacher, Paul Schäfer, but is in fact a place from which no one has ever escaped. Lena decides to join the cult to attempt to rescue her husband.
I like Watson and think she's really solid w/ her acting. The concept seems intriguing too. The Nyquist and Brühl are a nice little topping to that. Not sure if I'll be in the mood for it for when it comes to release.
