A special edition? No! Quintessential. Today is December 5th which means, Sinterklaas! No better film than the 2007 Dutch classic Alles is Liefde. Laden with racist traditions, love, family and brief anti-semitism, sounds like Dutch Christmas to us. (Also Greg's favorite Dutch film)

Spoorloos | Dutch Film Podcast
On Greg's watch list for nearly 10 years. Will the 1988 horror mystery film, Spoorloos live up to the hype. Or was Kubrick wrong when he called it "the most terrifying film he's ever seen"? No surprises, it lives up to the hype and says a lot about Dutch summer holidays in France!

Van God Los | Dutch Film Podcast
Once described to Greg as the Dutch version of Trainspotting. Does this 2003 Limburgian crime thriller capture the angst and chaos of early 90s Thatcherism or is it more of a shlocky Boondock Saints masculine exercise? Neither, but that doesn't mean it's bad.

Het Diner | Dutch Film Podcast
Het Diner, a film based on the book by Dutch comedic king, Herman Koch. Directed by Steven Spielberg collaborator Menno Meyjes and featuring an all-star cast of Dutch talent. How bad could this 2013 social commentary / thriller be? You'd be extremely surprised.

Flodder in Amerika | Dutch Film Podcast
The infamous Flodder family travel to New York City. Will this 1992 slapstick comedy from acclaimed Dutch funny-guy, Dick Maas be an uninformed romp or a stark criticism of how eccentricity is viewed in Dutch society? Either way, it's probably the perfect film for Dutch-American relations.

Karakter | Dutch Film Podcast
The boys start off with the 1997 Academy Award winning Dutch film, Karakter. It won awards, how bad can it be? A rags to riches story: kind of. Does this acclaimed classic from Mike van Diem shed light on the Dutch mentality of "doe maar gewoon"?
