touching haircut

I saw the movie when I was about 14, and the scene when the boy's got a hair-cut by his father touched me so deep, I went back the other week. Quite a fortune with 2$ pocket-money a week. I'm 47 now, possibly it would be a dull movie, I doubt if it will be on DVD ever, but on the lists of all time favorites it always crosses my mind. I still see the face of divorced father Cor van Rijn who kidnapped his own son, and has to explain why they can't go back to mummy. And apart from other Dutch movies with unrealistic, long dialogs and slow editing (using 80 % of a shot instead of 20) it had a good sphere. As I remember. Quite nostalgic review. So let's end up with some trivia: Director Rene van Nie is the father from actress Nada van Nie (Honneponnetje) also the wife of soccer-star Brian Roy.

Beautiful

I saw the movie at the age of 17. How was I to know that about 10 years later I'd be in the same situation as the father in the movie, having to go through all the trouble of trying to keep in touch with my son after a violent divorce. The part of the father (Cor van Rijn) is portrayed as very credible. The son named Sem (played by Sem de Jong) had no acting experience until this film shoot.

Music by Jaap Dekker. Better known for his blues and Boogie-Woogy piano playing. Typical '70-s but still a nice score. Maybe a little Ennio Morricone inspired.

Trivia: The movie never made it to video or DVD release However I do have the soundtrack. It was given to me, years later by Jaap Dekker (the composer) whom I met at a jazz festival in Haarlem (Netherlands).
