This movie, or documentary, whatever you want to call it, is one of the most moving pictures I have seen this year. I was genuinely shocked by the sheer honesty with which director John Appel has portraited one of the most loved and also one of the loathed folksingers of The Netherlands. We follow this extraordinary man through a series of setbacks and successes, ranging from a concert that turned into a disaster in Benidorm, Spain, the almost divorce from his third wife and he also shows us where he grew up and we see very close and personal shots of this magnificent singer on stage. Truly, this movie should be seen at more festivals across the world. It already received some prices at the Internetional Documentary Festival Amsterdam in 1999. If you can, you should see this one. Trust me.
