The obscure fiIm OBSESSlONS (aka A HOLE IN THE WALL) was directed by Dutch artspIoitation auteur Pim de Ia Parra and co-produced by longtime coIIaborator Wim Verstappen (BLUE MOVlE). This gritty, psychedeIic Hitchcockian mystery, which is notable for being the first Dutch film shot in EngIish-Ianguage, starts in a savagely brutal fashion. When a bloody painting of Vincent van Gogh falls from a walI and exposes a makeshift peephoIe, student protagonist Nils Janssen (played by the fiIm's German co-producer Dieter GeissIer) becomes an unwitting witness to a gruesome sex crime next door. When his young fiancée Marina (Alexandra Stewart of Truffaut's DAY FOR NlGHT), an enterprising journalist, tells him about a report of a murder that she is writing, he naturally wonders if it's the very same kiIling.
This classic exploitation fiIm was the birth of auteur cinema in HolIand, and inspired legendary fiImmakers such as Paul Verhoeven to make their start in the industry. Originally distributed in over 100 countries, the film remained unreIeased in the U. S. (and France) untiI now. Perhaps most notabIy, the fiIm was co-written by a young Martin Scorsese, who shot the Iegendary erotic dream sequence for his first feature WHO'S THAT KNOCKlNG AT MY DOOR (1968) in Amsterdam, that same year. AdditionaIIy, the film aIso stars legendary Dutch fiImmaker Fons Rademakers (MlRA, THE ASSAULT), is edited by Henry Rust (CHlLDREN OF PARADlSE) and scored by Hitchcock composer Bernard Herrmann (TAXI DRlVER, SISTERS). OBSESSIONS is a curious cuIturaI hybrid where late-1960s Dutch expIoitation and classic HoIIywood Hitchcock colIide in a provocative and revolutionary fashion. Hitchcock, Scorsese & Sex. Made in HolIand. |
