Haven't read the book yet, but the movie is good. It's actually a biography of Jan Wolkers and that's what I like about it, that we can see a bit about Wolkers' youth. Acting was good. The settings and backgrounds of the 30s and 40s have been given less attention and many things seem just 80s but the atmosphere was good.

Also btw the first Theo van Gogh film I've seen.

But for this fascinating biography a 3.5*

Wim T. Schippers as a corpse shaver is a highlight in Dutch cinematography. Furthermore a rather confusing story (don't know the book, am not a Wolkers fan, too grotesque and forced for me) with cheap blue hue and too fragmentary school plays, but perhaps everything fits perfectly to reveal a twisted mind. Theo van Gogh has certainly done his best, but I could not discover a talented filmmaker in it.
