Paul Verhoeven - De Gewelddadige Schepping plot
Documentary in which filmmaker Jan Bosdriesz portrays the turbulent life of Dutch filmmaker Paul Verhoeven, who lives in Los Angeles. In interviews in the Netherlands and America, Verhoeven talks about his youth, the war, his faith and his departure for America in 1986. In the Netherlands, he enthusiastically visits places from his childhood, including primary school and his parental home. Film fragments from, among others, Turks Fruit and Soldier of Orange illustrate the connection between events from Verhoeven's past and scenes from his films. In addition, the film is larded with old private recordings. Finally, cameraman Jan de Bont and screenwriters Gerard Soeteman (Turkish Delight) and Joe Eszterhas (Basic Instinct) give their opinion about the collaboration with a passionate filmmaker.
