Van God Los

I want to share something with you. Yesterday I got to bear witness to the greatest Dutch production I have seen ... well ... EVER. The first dutch film I have ever seen capture anger, sorrow, respect, jalousy and lust all at the same time. All blended together in a spine chillingly realistic criminal drama. You get to see Tygo Gernandt at his very best, as he adds a human face to a cold-hearted criminal (and all that in a Southern-Dutch accent).
















I found Van God Los (a Dutch expression for outragious or crazy) especially refreshing. This one can easily be put next to contemporary tragedies such as Trainspotting and Requiem for a Dream. Thank you, Pieter Kuijpers, for showing the world that the Dutch càn make movies.
