Absolute great cinema. Superb acting by Hoekstra. I don't know if it is an adaptation of a book. But it feels like a homage to a literary masterpiece. This movie should be mandatory stuff for (male) students. Maybe I'm a bit biased, because I was born and raised in the same area where this movie takes place. Actually raised two decades later, but I 'feel' the movie like I was there. I think this must is be different for an audience abroad. But the theme is universal. I'm not a filmmaker, but I imagine it's very hard to produce this kind of film in the way they did. Finding the balance is key. In my opinion they succeeded. Film keeps you interested until the end. And what an ending... punch in the stomach. Real hard.
