    Alles is Liefde | Dutch Film Podcast

    A special edition? No! Quintessential. Today is December 5th which means, Sinterklaas! No better film than the 2007 Dutch classic Alles is Liefde. Laden with racist traditions, love, family and brief anti-semitism, sounds like Dutch Christmas to us. (Also Greg's favorite Dutch film)

    Cloaca | Dutch Film Podcast

    Cloaca (2003) the movie based on the famous play about 4 middle-aged friends suffering crises in Amsterdam, a cautionary, satirical tale about getting old as a white male or a waste of time? Greg and Erik go at it.

    Dutch Film Podcast | Soof

    It took Greg months to convince Erik that they needed to watch this film. High art? No. Exmplerary of Dutch society? Absolutely. The sensational 2013 romcom Soof. A truly Dutch film.

    Wilde Mossels | Dutch Film Podcast

    Oemoemenoe - that's right the boys are off to Zeeland for 2000 drama Wilde Mossels. What's worth living for on the "isolated" islands of Zeeland? Does Dublin really have more to offer? And can you ever really escape the place you were born?

    Borgman | Dutch Film Podcast

    Alex van Warmerdam may be the king of Dutch contemporary cinema. But do his expressionist works say something about Dutch society or is it pure artistic mumbojumbo. The boys watch Borgman and get thorougly creeped out.

    1h 8m

    Spoorloos | Dutch Film Podcast

    On Greg's watch list for nearly 10 years. Will the 1988 horror mystery film, Spoorloos live up to the hype. Or was Kubrick wrong when he called it "the most terrifying film he's ever seen"? No surprises, it lives up to the hype and says a lot about Dutch summer holidays in France!

    Van God Los | Dutch Film Podcast

    Once described to Greg as the Dutch version of Trainspotting. Does this 2003 Limburgian crime thriller capture the angst and chaos of early 90s Thatcherism or is it more of a shlocky Boondock Saints masculine exercise? Neither, but that doesn't mean it's bad.

    Het Diner | Dutch Film Podcast

    Het Diner, a film based on the book by Dutch comedic king, Herman Koch. Directed by Steven Spielberg collaborator Menno Meyjes and featuring an all-star cast of Dutch talent. How bad could this 2013 social commentary / thriller be? You'd be extremely surprised.

    1h 19m

    Flodder in Amerika | Dutch Film Podcast

    The infamous Flodder family travel to New York City. Will this 1992 slapstick comedy from acclaimed Dutch funny-guy, Dick Maas be an uninformed romp or a stark criticism of how eccentricity is viewed in Dutch society? Either way, it's probably the perfect film for Dutch-American relations.

    1h 40m

    Karakter | Dutch Film Podcast

    The boys start off with the 1997 Academy Award winning Dutch film, Karakter. It won awards, how bad can it be? A rags to riches story: kind of. Does this acclaimed classic from Mike van Diem shed light on the Dutch mentality of "doe maar gewoon"?
