Watch The Fury For Free

Better than most people think

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I just saw this excellent film from the Netherlands at the EU Film Festival in Ottawa, Canada. It managed to make me curious in the beginning, then it made me laugh, and then it made me cry... The film brings you back to mid 20th century in EU when being a woman wasn't always easy. I thought the story was intriguing and neat and it flowed at a nice pace. Loved how the characters were well developed but not overly, just enough depth. I find sometimes film makers either don't give us enough information or get lost in telling us a bit too much about them. Actors did an awesome job, Hannah Hoekstra (Tiny) was so pleasant to watch! And of course I loved the directors' style, it kept me interested right until the very end, and made me go through all emotional states! What a gem!

Through the eyes of a young boy we look at Tiny, an intriguing young woman.All men seem to love her - and she seems to love and please every man --- even the ugly and older ones. Tiny is like a hurt little bird. Sometimes she rages, sometimes she is warm and tender for the young boy. The movie shows how she and the boy get older - and how he discovers an awful secret about her. The actors all play very daring - they become older and older during the play. It is all about the hypocrisy in a family in the catholic south of the Netherlands in the fifties and sixties. When at the end the secret about Tiny is revealed, the personages are all very old - their lives have slipped away and nobody ever noticed Tiny's pain. Life is irreversible and Andre van Duren shows this in a moving and impressive way - and transcends the mere movie-anecdote of a hurt and abused girl. This is a worthy successor of the other movies by director Andre van Duren. With again realistic provincial people made of flesh and blood --- who are comical as well as tough and narrow- minded in their smugness. In De Helleveeg you can feel how a whole life slips away - and therefore it was moving and poignant.
