Review of Turkish Delight (1973) by Codie E — 16 Jul 2009
One of the best films ever made about doomed relationships. The film works so well because its lead characters are just 'children', we can never take their romance too seriously but at the same time completely buy the state they get themselves into.
This is helped by Rutger Hauer and Monique Van De Ven's brilliant and fearless performances, always willing to go with Paul Verhoeven's liberal sensibilities, sexual obsessions and at times poor taste, but the film is all the better for it.
