Hello everyone!

I've been studying Dutch for about 5/6 months now, and I've been trying always to complement my studies by watching Dutch movies.

So far, I've watched:

- Komt Een Vrouw Bij de Dokter - AMAZING film! I think I'd never cried so much before in my life while watching a movie (haha). After watching it, I bought and read the whole book in 2 days (and cried myself out again). In my opinion, it's the best Dutch movie among those I've watched. Carice Van Houten is just breathtaking.

- Zwartboek - The movie is in Dutch, German and English, about a woman who worked as a spy during WWII, helping the Dutch resistance. Very good.

- De Gelukkige Huisvrouw - Again Carice Van Houten, proving she's one of the best actresses in the world. Great performance, great movie.

- Turks Fruits - This one is older, and shows us Rutger Hauer really young! My Dutch friend said this movie was really controversial and polemic by the time it was released.

- Het Leven Uit Een Dag - The plot is really interesting, about a parallel world where people live just for 1 day. The movie is not that great, maybe because of the book. Still watchable.

That's my contribution! =) I hope you guys like it!

And pleeeease, recommend me some more (good) Dutch movies! Cinema is another passion of mine, and I'll love to conciliate both of them =)

Dank jullie wel, en tot ziens!

I agree Turks Fruit is amazing. There are are also a ton of Belgische films.

I recommend "De Hel van Tanger". Great movie.


Also, you have to watch the classic: "Soldaat van Oranje". A young Rutger in that one
too.

Spoorlos is good too. It's the original before Kiefer Sutherland/Sandra Bullock remake.
Curiously, it's a mix of Dutch and French.

Turks Fruit indeed was really polemic because it is based on a novel by Jan Wolkers,
which included a lot of more explicit material that wasn't common at the time.

Since then, not so much.
