Hoezo in KINO

Surinamese-Dutch director/producer Pim de La Parra, who passed away early September aged 84, was one of the leaders of the ‘Dutch Sex Wave’, the rebellious answer from 60’s Holland to the French New Wave. Together with his film partner Wim Verstappen he produced Blue Movie and other sex-driven blockbusters that created mayhem in all cinemas that dared to show it. Later De La Parra would become a leading voice in Surinam filmmaking, but never again would he make the impact and bucks (and even receive some critical acclaim) the way Blue Movie did. It’s an experience we are happy to bring back to the big screen.

Storyline

After five years in prison, an ex-con returns to a society where total sexual freedom is now the norm. Michael (Frank & Eva’s Hugo Metsers) yearns for sex, and becomes fascinated by the amorous life of an attractive woman next door (Business Is Business’s Carry Tefsen), eventually organizing a series of sordid orgies with her and the neighbors…

Blue Movie was the most controversial and talked about Dutch film upon theatrical release – a sensation that brought millions of visitors to cinemas. Produced by Pim de la Parra (Frank & Eva, Obsessions), and directed by his partner Wim Verstappen, Blue Movie was a breakthrough commercial hit for their company Scorpio Films – and the start of the Golden Years of Dutch cinema, also known as the “Dutch Sex Wave.” Presented by Cult Epics for first time ever in High-definition on Blu-Ray & DVD – and featuring cinematography by Jan De Bont (Turkish Delight, Private Lessons, Basic Instinct) – now see for yourself what all the commotion was about!
