It was felt the movie by Woody showed acting not so best to come over and the dialogues according to the reviewers were quite rough and forced. One liked the way Derek de Lint love made with a torso rather embarrassing than dramatic, while the rest of the movie eroticism to expose the ' plain sex ' famous Dutch was. Also missed the layering of the book, allowing the movie rather two-dimensional happened to. Characters were not explored in depth and main character Erik came across as a filthy male ', which ' weird and indifferent to the NSB. The decoration of the production was praised, as well as the music of Pim Koopman. ==Sources<span class="mw-editsection" len="336" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ==
