Max Havelaar / Max Havelaar. PC: P.T. Mondial Motion Pictures, Fons Rademakers Productie. P+D: Fons Rademakers. Based on the novel (1860) by Multatuli. DP: Jan De Bont. CAST: Peter Faber, Sacha Bulthuis, Rutger Hauer. 167’. 1,66. Viewed at SEA, Cinema Orion, Helsinki, on Wednesday, 10 September 1997. Fine print with Finnish/Swedish subtitles. Probably ***. I caught only the latter half of the stark epic about the bloody oppression and corruption of the Dutch colonialists in Java in the 1850s. Exciting photography by Jan De Bont, later famous for Basic Instinct, Twister, and Speed.
