Review of Max Havelaar: or, The Coffee Auctions of the Dutch Trading Company (1976) by Pavandeep S — 30 Apr 2009
I personally am extremely biased for the Dutch. I adore them, though I hate the fact that apparently everyone there speaks English. It actually terrifies me and keeps me awake at night and I hope it's not true.
Anyway, this is a Dutch-Indonesian co-production and it was a lovely film with a significance to it and a certain amazing mise-en-scene I have seen in a long time. It was nice to see this both as an academic matter, as Indonesia is just nearby here plus to see a Dutch film and also, to thoroughly enjoy this, though in an odd and indescribable way, I mean, it feels flawed, but wonderfully so.
