so apparently

So every week. The last words of the sermon are hardly spoken of Catherine and her brothers already run to the bike. Contest. Who is the first home.

This is the role that religion plays in the strict Calvinist Dorsvloer full Confetti, the film adaptation of the bestseller by Franca Treur. The church is able to penetrate the characters in a straitjacket to keep in place but their zest for life can be much harder curb.

Look at those rectilinear mother (Suzan Boogaerdt) whose tight face thaws when she was in her frivolous flower garden sits. To the joking grandfather takes his granddaughter to the pub for an ice cream with a parasol. But most true natural for protagonist Catherine, a dreamy girl with six brothers growing up in a Zeeland farm and it gives life color with made-up stories.

A wonderful role is newcomer Purses Nieuwerf, Catherine on the classical turning point lets look at the world. hungry for puberty Seamlessly they fit in the filmed almost romantic by debut director Tallulah Schwab Zeeland countryside, with those golden ears of corn await harvest.

Loving, critical look
Dorsvloer full Confetti may be a coming-of-ageverhaal, but without the main character completely turns on her descent. The world that she knows is her for too dear. This is Dorsvloer not reckoning with faith, rather a loving, critical eye on it.

That a teacher emits example, the “demonic messages’ in a Mai Tai number is as witty as tragic. Hypocrisy is considered with humor; young people stay young. And every time the ever oppressive debt and do too oppressive likely to be quite right never provides the film Catherine loopholes: secretly watching TV through the window in a new neighborhood, a carnival in the village, a sleepover in the big city.

This dual attitude that Schwab was reading in the book of Mourning and this extra step is nice, but at the same time it is also the problem of the film. Katelijnes quest for more entertainment has at most a beating as a consequence. It makes a nice Dorsvloer full Confetti musing, but also a bit too quiet rippling film.
