'Ober' opens Netherlands fest
AMSTERDAM -- Black comedy Ober, the latest from director Alex Van Warmerdam, will open the 26th edition of the Netherlands Film Festival on Sept. 27. Produced by Amsterdam-based Graniet Film, Ober also is considered a candidate for the upcoming Venice International Film festival. The film deals with fifty-year-old waiter Edgar (Van Warmerdam), who has had enough of his miserable existence and literally demands a rewrite from the man writing his life story: no more difficult customers, no more wife, a new girlfriend, new neighbors. The Netherlands Film Festival runs Sept. 27-Oct. 6 in Utrecht. The program also features a tribute to Dutch actress Johanna ter Steege, known for her work with directors George Sluizer (The Vanishing), Istvan Szabo (Sweet Emma, Dear Bobe) and Bruce Beresford (Paradise Road). Ter Steege, currently shooting a film with French director Alice Winocour, will present a master class during the festival.
