I like dutch films. I also like to watch half-naked Dutch women. However, the topic of the movie annoys me, since it is another euthanasia movie, and I am starting to lose tolerance for the topic as it was used too often this year. The year 2004, will be remembered as the "Euthanasia Movies Year". It started with the Canadian/French film: "The Barabrian Invasion", about a mischievous father who's dieing from cancer ("Simon" resembles this film the most). It continued in Hollywood with Clint Eastwood's "Oscar Winning Machine" called "Million Dollar Baby", about a female boxer who is mortally injured and wishes Clint to put her to "sleep". The Spanish director Alejandro Amenábar presented "The Sea Inside", about a man who sits in his bed for 26 years and wishes to die. I believe there are more films I haven't encounter yet. WOW! Overload... This topic is over-exposed, I would like to remind that there are other sentimental topics to make films about. Thank you, all you wonderful talented directors for making some very touching films, but the topic of Euthinasia has been covered enough.
The movie deals also with the life of a gay couple and is presented maturely and modernly. I got the feeling that Dutch society is a very free society, maybe too free.
7/10
