De smaak van water
Orlow Seunke / NL, 1982 / 103 min.
Incisive feature debut by Orlow Seunke about a cynical civil servant whose life changes when he comes across a girl who has been locked away for years by her parents. Seunke’s fierce indictment of bureaucracy won the Golden Lion for best debut in Venice.
Gerard Thoolen plays a cynical civil servant working for social services who has always adhered strictly to the rules. His life is turned upside down when he is confronted by a feral girl (Dorijn Curvers) who has been locked away in a cupboard for years by her deranged parents.
