Dromen van Holland (2004)

Dromen van Holland plot

In the nineteenth century, the Netherlands was overrun by foreign artists. They visited a country that in their eyes was very exotic. They captured it in paintings, which were in great demand abroad. In the book Dreams of Holland. Foreign artists paint Hans Kraan's Holland 1800-1914, this phenomenon is extensively documented. With Kraan's book at the ready, Delpeut embarks on a journey through his own country, along routes and places that were popular with foreign artists in the nineteenth century: Dordrecht, Rotterdam, Katwijk, the bulb region, Amsterdam, Zaandam. In the relevant places and routes he tries to find the atmosphere and images as they were once painted. The current inhabitants - farmers, bulb growers, residents of centuries-old houses - still follow their own imagination when they look at the Dutch landscape. In this way, the film gradually becomes a portrait of the 'typical' Dutch landscape and of the many dreams that can be projected onto it.
