Rezension von jéwé

Even after multiple viewings and over 20 years after it was released this remains a solid story, one of Van Gogh's best movies. In fact the story is so complex that more than one viewing will make you appreciate it even more. The cast is in great form, with nice supporting roles. Although seemingly moving rather slow in the first half, this is the part where you have to pay attention to get the rewards in the second hour. Beautifully shot and well directed this is easily one of my favourite Dutch movies ever made.
