Last night got film director Paul Verhoeven, a Golden Globe award for his film, Elle. This means the comeback of Verhoeven in Hollywood? “A Golden Globe win certainly helps,” says filmredacteur Kita van Slooten. “It is a sign of success.” Five questions about the Golden Globe Verhoeven.
1. How great honour is it to win a Golden Globe?
It is an artistic recognition that Verhoeven for his work was, says Van Slooten. “So it was a great honour for sure.”
“The members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association determine who is a Golden Globe. These are journalists from Los Angeles for foreign media work. People so that his earlier films are also firmly the ground have drilled.”
2. Is it a good film?
“Elle is a provocative masterpiece. The linchpin in the psychological thriller, Isabelle Huppert who is on formidable way to the elusive Michèle plays. A businesswoman in her own home, the victim of a rapist. How they respond gives much fodder for discussion. It is not clichéd wraakverhaal, but an interesting power play between victim and offender, with a main character that we never quite can fathom.”

“Verhoeven shows a lot of courage with this film. He’s looking for the limits, and let space and challenges its viewers. The timing of the dialogues, the editing, the music. Everything is perfectly matched and contributes to the vague feeling that Verhoeven us leaves behind. Elle is a film that is fierce in your vastbijt and not released quickly.”
3. Is this the turning point in the career of Verhoeven?
“In Hollywood you can one time be great, but if your next movie’s a flop is are you again depreciated. Ultimately it’s still a very large part to money. But a Golden Globe win certainly helps. Because it is a sign of success. Lenders will now be easier with Verhoeven in the sea want to go. And there will undoubtedly be more producers with him knocking on your door with filmvoorstellen.”
4. He stays in France or goes back to the U.S.?
“Verhoeven is working on a film about the French resistance, which he in France, would start to run. With the same producer, where he also Elle made. But that is not to say that he was no longer in America wants to work. The most important thing is that it is a movie that challenges him and that the money there is to be a project actually to get off the ground. But if someone from Hollywood is a nice script sends a film to which he has not previously made, he will certainly be interested.”
5. What does this mean for the Dutch movie?
“This award is the success of Verhoeven and his team. Not of the Dutch film world. Thus, it is not so that the Dutch creators and actors here now all of a sudden a piece of the action. What other filmmakers can do is let themselves be inspired by the balls that Verhoeven showed, by such a controversial film to make. He managed not to make this film in America to get off the ground, so moved the whole lot to France. The money was together gathering information, he learned French and jumped in the deep end. And now is reaping he benefits of it. the No guts, no glory.”
