Review
Winner of the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar 1997, and a directorial debut to boot. It's 1920's Rotterdam and Jakob, a self-educated lawyer, stands accused of his father's murder. Through flashbacks, a tale unfolds of a cold and ruthless man, Dreverhaven, his merciless work as a bailiff, and seeming determination to destroy his ilegitimate son. A heavy, handsome, period murder mystery.
