This movie is not made to only enjoy the dutch audience, it is to good to stay in The Netherlands alone.
My girlfriend did want to see this movie because she did read the book, in my mind the movie after the book is not special. Most of the times you always hear "the book was a lot better". I was wrong. The movie goes the same way as the book goes even the chapters (3 in total) are announced.
the story follows a man, who is successful in the world of advertising, got a lot of money, nice girls around him, until he see his future wife, they got married, then his life changes. The woman is diagnosed with cancer, the story will guide you through the whole process.
The main role is player's by Carice van Houten (Valkyrie, Black Book/Zwartboek), the leading dutch actress at this moment, she plays a magnificent role, the acting is great and you will feel for her the whole time.
The director of this movie is an old soap actor, after that he did made the program The national IQ test, the movie was his first directing job, I was afraid that he was going to mess up the movie. I was wrong again, he made the movie like it was his own child, made it work, the camera work was almost perfect, it was living, not static as most of the "drama" movies, it makes you feel like you are in the room.
A almost perfect movie, really good acting, really nice soundtrack,
and most of all a brilliant story that is made to see and feel.
