Description

Film director Ruud van Hemert has been enjoying the view of the sea on his own farmhouse in the southern Spain's mountains, with his current wife. He prepares culinary delights with much love for everyone who walks over. In addition, he is a construction worker, ecological farmer, columnist, chicken breeder, cyclist and thus also scenario writer and film. In his book 'De Bruut' he gives his wife his pervasive opinion about the Dutch film world from then on.
It is a candid and merciless vision, an eye-opener for every movie enthusiast and the beautiful life around us. In entertaining and sometimes venomous prose Van Hemert outlines the boundless tune of Dutch film. He reveals the often shameless twinkle, the backstroke and the coctail; Ruthlessly filts the vanity of actors and actresses, and the unbridled gratitude and stupidity of the average producer. But it is especially a fair book in which the author does not shy away from making himself vulnerable. And if one thing becomes clear, that is his unconditional love for the film subject. After reading 'De Bruut', everyone will understand that Ruud has something better to do than 'Papa is Razend' with the same limited resources as previously directed.
