IN DARKNESS (2011)

Agnieszka Holland dramatizes the story of a World War II Polish sewer worker who takes Jews underground, literally, to escape the Nazis, then finds his opportunistic venture growing into something deeper. Extras: conversation with Holland and a real-life survivor. (Sony, $30.99; Blu-ray, $35.99)
