Sextet plot

Sextet is about sex. It is a comic frame story about the Dutchman and his relations. Various characters and their bedtime stories are reviewed, Sextet is also a film-within-a-film. A grumpy Flemish film academy teacher (Gene Bervoets) regularly interrupts the film to tell his class of film students that behind all those 'stupid form things' and the many 'unfunctional nudes' in Sextet is a vain Dutchman with flaxen red hair and a major midlife crisis. After Simon, Sextet is the second part in Terstall's trilogy about Dutch society.

This satire on the role of sex in our contemporary society is by far the least of the Terstall trilogy. The stories are not bad in themselves, but I found the frame story with Gene Bervoets meant to be comical, I found very disturbing.
Favorite moment: the Moroccan couple who, after a visit to the lesbian neighbors, start talking about the blinds. I like that kind of unexpected and refreshing humor.

Genre: Tyrolean Sex Movie

It couldn't get any flatter, more non-exciting and faintly voyeuristic. Why on earth would I want to watch this? Done anyway and my reward is 1.5*

Let me sum up my experiences:

Very annoying voice-over, some funny animations in between, beautiful images of the city, very nice musical choice, incredibly boring unrealistic dialogues throughout the film, constantly bad and unnatural and made by ALL the actors (Jan Mulder acts???), no useful information or any fun entertainment in sight, very lame humour.

If it were all meant to be satirical(?) it wouldn't come across because of the Cherso milieu with Gooise accents. This movie is even less funny and just as shocking as Barbie's baby.

Only occasionally for a few minutes I thought it was a pretty fun movie.

In terms of story (feel free to say stories) it is quite cringe-inducing bad and the same goes for the bland humor. But in spite of that, it still looked reasonable and that was only because of the many exposures (eg Katja Schuurman, Dieuwertje Blok, Femke Lakerveld and Esmarel Gasman). The dialogues were also often painfully bad, so I couldn't avoid fast-forwarding regularly. The so-called interruptions by Gene Bervoets (a good actor) were also not exactly positive for this film. Because of the high breast content and because a woman has got two by nature, I give this film two symbolic points out of respect for the breast
