World War II

Film Interview: Talking to Zach Baliva, Director of “Potentially Dangerous”

Potentially Dangerous is a documentary about an era during World War II when Italians living in the United States were persecuted and, in some cases interned, as “enemy aliens” because the US was at war with Italy.

By: James Pasto Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Boston Italian neighborhoods, documentary, Enemy Aliens, immigration, Italian-American, North End, Potentially Dangerous, Refugees, Russo Brothers Film Forum, World War II, Zach Baliva

Book Review: “V2” — Robert Harris’s Gentler, Kinder World War II

This is history from a distance. Harris’s characters feel more real when they’re working out the equations that will make a missile fly or fall than when they’re fleeing a double agent or a misfiring rocket.

By: Clea Simon Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review Tagged: Clea Simon, Robert Harris, V2, World War II

The King’s Choice is a thoughtful nail-biter, a suspenseful historical drama.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Erik Poppe, Norway, Peg Aloi, The King's Choice, World War II

Film Review: “Dunkirk” — Overwhelming Immediacy

The Wermacht cut its swathe through France at a rate that amazed Winston Churchill in no small part because it was on speed.

By: Harvey Blume Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich, Christopher Nolan, Dunkirk, Norman Ohler, World War II

Film Review: “Dunkirk” — An Epic Celebration of the Communal Spirit

Dunkirk is a rousing testament to how common people, when called, can unite against adversity.

By: Tim Jackson Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Christopher Nolan, Dunkirk, World War II

Fuse Book Review: “A Hero of France” — An Insider’s Guide to the French Resistance

Alan Furst’s books are spy thrillers infused with a crisp, rather than a flowery, literary sensibility.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review Tagged: A Hero of France, Alan Furst, France, French Resistance, historical fiction, Thomas Filbin, World War II

Theater Review: “Copenhagen”—A Dazzling Production Conceals Moral Confusion

Despite the dazzling rewards of this virtuoso Underground Railway Theater production, Copenhagen short circuits its central theme.

By: Ian Thal Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: atomic bomb, Copenhagen, Eric Tucker, Michael Frayn, Niels Bohr, nuclear power, Underground Railway Theater, Werner Heisenberg, World War II

Theater Review: “The Wakeville Stories” – Theater as Civic Ritual

Dramatist Laurence Carr has a gift for vivid characterization and for creating a concrete sense of time and place.

By: Ian Thal Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: America, Kristin Dwyer, Laurence Carr, Matty Mae Theater Project, Somerville Veterans Memorial Cemetery, The Wakeville Stories, Veterans, World War II
