De avonden
Rudolf van den Berg / NL, 1989 / 122 min.
Idiosyncratic adaptation by Rudolf van den Berg of Gerard Reve’s tragicomic novel. Screens on 22 December, the date on which the story of Frits van Egters begins. With Thom Hoffman, Sylvia de Leur, Pierre Bokma and Gijs Scholten van Aschat.
Rudolf van den Berg didn’t create a literal adaptation of Gerard Reve’s famous first novel about angry young man Frits Egters who, immediately after World War Two, is trapped by his claustrophobic family circumstances. Frits thinks there must be more to life, he just doesn’t know how to find it.
