“If you like Paul Verhoevenu0026#39;s later work (Robocop, Total Recall, Black Book), you should take the time to delve into his Dutch language work.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is a serious work showing class differences in 19th Century Holland, and the total lack of concern for workers. The title character takes a slew of meaningless jobs after the family is forced to move to the city, eventually ending up as a prostitute to survive.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHearing the typical u0026quot;streets paved with goldu0026quot; dreams that were typical of America at that time, we can totally relate to those driven from their farms.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWomen were certainly toys for men, even doctors, to play with, and rape, if they chose.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt was interesting to see Rutgar Hauer in a role as a gentlemen, and the experience of Monique van de Ven was not to be missed.”
