Best Dutch film ever.
A pre action movie Rutger Hauer proves he can act.
The full romantic scrambles this film shows probably hit home for so many people. Hence it's success.
It continues to be successful. It recently played Tokyo again in a few art houses and people were lined up. Not just the Dutch expats either, EVERYBODY.
It well deserved its nomination. If the Genius Kurosawa hadn't been nominated, this would have won.
Rutger, we hardly knew ye. HAIL!
