The Nazi revenge fantasy is a tiny yet fascinating slice of the filmmaking pie. In , Stephen Spielberg crafted perhaps the most iconic instance of the revenge fantasy with Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark , in which the most powerful Jewish artifact in history gleefully melts the faces off an entire squadron of Nazis. Whether thriller, black comedy, or action flick, the Nazi revenge fantasy can be found couched in any film genre. In the new film Remember , the story is told within the familiar Hitchcockian confines of film noir by Canadian, Academy Award-nominated director Atom Egoyan. Remember follows Zev, played with equal parts befuddlement and determination by an enigmatic Christopher Plummer, as he embarks on a quest to fulfill a promise to his wheelchair-bound friend Max Martin Landau : to find the Nazi camp guard who murdered their families at Auschwitz and to assassinate him. Complicating matters is the fact that Zev and Max live in an retirement home, and Zev suffers from ever-worsening dementia.

I love digging into the hazy, grey areas of the romance genre. Because the genre is so large, and because it both overlaps with other genres, and possesses sub-genres that overlap with each other, there are many areas where definitions get vague and borders begin to blur. Ultimately the category falls into an awkward area between romance, erotica, and horror. So what is a dark romance?
