This weekend, Paul Verhoeven was guest-of-honor at Vpro broadcasting organization in The Netherlands. Basically this meant that a whole evening was dedicated to him, shown as one interview lasting several hours. Just Mr. Verhoeven, one interviewer and no audience except the camera, interspersed with clips of Paul's own choosing (not necessarily of his own work) to laud and debate.
