The Butcher of Prague (2011)

Also known as Lidice and Fall of the Innocent, this drama tells the story of the Nazi massacre in the Czech village of Lidice. 

Karel Roden plays a man who returns to his village after a spell in prison, only to find that it no longer exists. 

Beyond the history lesson, I didn’t get a great deal out of the film. Not entirely sure why, as the performances were mostly strong. Perhaps I was just in the wrong frame of mind to witness more senseless killing and cruelty.
