Turks fruit (Turkish Delight) (1973)

Director: Paul Verhoeven
Writers:  Gerard Soeteman, Jan Wolkers
Cast:      Rutger Hauer, Monique van den Ven
Language: Dutch
The film is a love story of an artist and a young woman, starring Rutger Hauer and Monique van den Ven and is based on the novel Turks Fruit by Jan Wolkers.

The characters are portrayed in a cartoonish way and in certain aspects the film reminded me of Polanski's Bitter Moon which came out much later. It is one of the most successful films of the Dutch Cinema.

Rating: 3.5/5
