Lavish and lovingly photographed, Roland Kerbosch's impressive feature debut is a powerful, subtle exploration of the passionate attraction of a young boy for his handsome Canadian liberator. Superb performances by Dutch film star Jeroen Krabbe, and by Maarten Smit as the boy, this sometimes shocking film is a courageous, exquisitely realized affirmation of the human spirit. A powerful, subtle exploration of personal freedom and the emergence of adolescent sexual identity.
