Film Noir Lezing: noir in de polder
Lecture and film screening
The Netherlands and film noir: do they go together? Film expert Peter Verstraten takes a deep dive into typical examples of ‘polder noir’ such as Fons Rademakers’ Twee druppels water and Parfait amour by Jean van de Velde.
In his lecture, Lecturer in Film and Literary Studies at Leiden University Peter Verstraten asks whether there is such a thing as Dutch film noir.
His search embraces classics of Dutch cinema history such as De vergeten medeminnaar (John Korporaal, 1963), Als twee druppels water (Fons Rademakers, 1963) and Parfait amour (Jean van de Velde, 1985).
