#De noorderlingen warmerdam movie#

It's true that the movie sort of looses it as it heads more and more towards its end but overall this movie remains perfectly watchable throughout- and above all also really fun to watch. Like always, also Alex van Warmerdam plays a role in the movie and so does his wife, actress Annet Malherbe.

I've always liked him better as an actor than as a director, or anything else. The most fun role is being played by Theo van Gogh, as Fat Willy, who constantly rides on his moped and terrorizes the street with it. Jack Wouterse is a well known actor now but back in 1992 no one had ever heard of him and this also was one of his first ever roles. The movie features some fine Dutch actors, though it seems sort of weird that the best and best known actors play insignificant supporting roles in the movie, such as Loes Luca and Jacques Commandeur. It are mostly this quirky little aspects about each and every character that makes this movie such a fine comedy, since its not a movie with an awful lot amount of dialog and its also a rather slow moving movie, with long stretched shots. Leonard Lucieer, Jack Wouterse, Annet Malherbe, Alex van Warmerdam en Rudolf Lucieer. Every characters has somethings strange or unusual around him or her, some more extreme than others. The movie is filled with lots of eccentric characters. It's set in the '60's, which of course also gives the movie a certain atmosphere but really this movie could had also easily been set in modern time and it just wouldn't make that much different to the story or any of its characters. At the end of the road there is a bus-stop and an artificial planted small forest. The entire movie is set in an housing development, that consists out of one long street, without pavement on the road, with a school and butcher shop. This movie is mostly so fun to watch due to its many eccentric characters and unusual settings. It's not the type of movie with a clear point or purpose but this doesn't prevent this movie from being simply an enjoyable one to watch. It might very well be true that this movie is his best known and most appreciated movie. He always fills his films with a large amount of surrealism but at the same time knows to keep his films accessible and watchable for the main stream public. Finally it will be argued that Van Warmerdam's films force Dutch audiences to take an ironic, critical look at themselves, a new take in Dutch cinema that has also found approval abroad.When you're watching an Alex van Warmerdam movie you know you're to get something interesting and unusual.
