from 2002 on dutch cinema finally get well again . this movie be still part and a schoolbook example of the bad period of dutch cinema . the story be needlessly tell in flashback style . all of the present sequence set in france be completely redundant and add nothing to the story and emotion or power . for some reason european filmmaker often find it necessary to tell the story not chronological . i never understood why and or what the appeal of it be . the story self also isn not exactly the great . it isn not always clear be the movie be try to go to and what it try to tell . the story of a young unexperienced boy fall in love with a wild young girl and who later turn out to be quite psychotic might sound good enough on paper and even show some parallel to paul verhoeven turk fruit and to which this movie often be compare to before and at the time of it release . however the end result be far from comparable . the story fail to capture the right emotion and which be also due to the unimaginative performance from the actor . the way the story be tell also make the movie far from always interest or compel . i lose interest for this movie at about 40 minute through the movie . at the time this movie be make and both antonie kamerling and angela schijf be promise rise star and with great potential and ambition but both their career have pretty much dry up by now . angela schijf seem to give her family more attention than her career ( that be not a bad thing of course ) and while antonie kamerling try to start a career in hollywood . he never get any further than play some small bit part in 2 renny harlin flop . to be honest i be not surprise . it not that he be a bad actor and he certainly have get the right look but his english just isn not good enough and to put it mildly . just listen to him speak english in the beginning of this movie and you will understand what i mean . they be really not bad actor but for some reason it doesn not show in this movie . it probably also due to the poor dialog . i still kind of liked beau van erven dorens . he be criticize a lot but his acting seem very natural . he always keep the character close to who he self be . it by no mean be one of the bad movie ever make but it not exactly one i would recommend either . bad and uninteresting storytelling make this a bad movie . 4/10 .
