Unter den Palmen (1999)
a golden future
This is a very interesting movie written and directed by a young female director. The visuals and music are beautiful. At times the movie is slow, but in all I found the movie compelling.
There are very few good and interesting films being made in Holland these days therefore it's really admirable to see a project like this being made. I especially like it because the story and the characters are so different from anything else. People that criticise this movie are lazy and don't understand films can entertain on different levels. I recently saw the director on TV and it was amazing to see that she is a vibrant, beautiful young girl with balls and international allure. She will probably blossom more abroad than in Holland where they can't seem to handle a woman being both talented and beautiful.
