Plot: Sort of a cross between "Love Story" and an earthy Rembrandt painting, this movie stars Rutger Hauer as a gifted Dutch sculptor who has a stormy, erotic, and star-crossed romance with a beautiful youn...( read more read more... )g girl. The story follows the arc of their relationship and his interaction with her family. Told in flashback form, initially Hauer is seen as a libertine lothario collector, taking trophies from his sexual conquests and pasting them in a book. He sees a sculpture he made of his lost lover and goes into a flashback of his relationship with his wife. He meets the girl, falls in love with/marries her, and we meet her parents: a charming, well meaning, bumbling father, and his shrew of a wife, who's convinced Hauer's too much of a bohemian to make a good mate for her daughter. Eventually, the petty jealousies, the sexual hijinks, and the climactic vomit scene prove too much for the marriage, and sculptor and his lady fair separate. Flash forward several months, and Hauer finds the girl back in Holland after an American sojourn. Their reunion is short lived; the somewhat melodramatic ending mirrors "Love Story".

    a man who has little regard for anything falls in love - this movie is gritty, sex-charged, and full of symbolism; from the man who brought you Basic Instinct

    It's a strange as hell movie and the kind of thing where as I said to a friend, "I never knew I could become so cinematically intimate with Rutger Hauer's penis." Nevertheless, it's a sometimes tragic, sometimes gripping, but always interesting and fascinating to watch piece of work. Think of it like the Dutch New Wave of cinema. =P

    Terrific right up until its last 20 minutes when it becomes a completely different film and falls apart in the process. Paul Verhoven makes a real impression with this, his second film as a director. He garners great performances from Rutger Hauer and Monique Van De Ven in the central roles as an unbalanced sculptor and his new wife and muse. It's unmistakably and unrepentantly a Paul Verhoven movie, packed to the gills with sex and nudity (Van De Ven seems to spend the majority of her screen time with at least half her body exposed) and featuring some rather nasty violence a couple of times. Add to this a couple of shots you'd only ever find in a Verhoven film (a woman's water breaking at her wedding and a dog getting up to lick it off the seat leaps to mind) and you've an original talent clearly setting out his stall. It's a shame that the fun, flighty, atmosphere get jettosined at the end of the film but for 80 minutes this is great entertainment.

    A very good, and heartwarming film. My friend recommended it to me, and I was really happy with it. P.S. - it's directed by the same guy who did Starship Troopers.
