No one cared thus far. Do you?


AKA: Little Sister
Directed by: Robert Jan Westdijk
Starring: Kim van Kooten (Daantje), Romijn Conen (Martijn), Roeland Fernhout (Ramon), Hannah Risselada (Little Daantje), Michael Münninghoff (Little Martijn)
Country: Netherlands; Effed Up European Cinema
Language: Dutch; Effed Up Dutch Films
Runtime: 01:27:51

Plot – Spoilers:
Martijn appears unannounced at his sister Daantje’s place on the eve of her 20th birthday after being away for several years. Daantje is awkward, bordering on hostile initially, and Martijn doesn’t help things by insisting on recording her every move with his handheld camera.

Martijn uses his camera as an aggressive voyeur as he follows Daantje everywhere, while also insisting that she watch some tapes from their childhood. The tapes contain a taboo family secret that she doesn’t seem interested in squaring up to after all these years.

Zusje is a handheld-cam film as we watch everything through Martijn’s camera and we are therefore in a sense slaves to his perspective. Until a switch happens. A little aside here is how a person’s sense of wellbeing can change when they go from being the one in control recording others, to the one being recorded.

Genres: Siblings, Incest, Childhood, Voyeur-Stalking

There’s a cute song during the end titles that “Steve” and his imaginary friends might like to circle jerk to.

I just watched a bunch of films. Reading this comment is optional. 1. “Morphine” (2008) is directed by Aleksei Balabanov who also directed “Cargo 200” (2007) which is a fantastic film that is on this site. “Morphine” is about a doctor in a small village in Russia in 1917. Medical techniques have changed after more than a century. There are some very gruesome scenes that will make you wince. The good doctor is addicted to, you guessed it, morphine. The techniques for kicking a drug habit haven’t changed much in a century. Great film. 2. “Morphine and Dolly Mixtures” (1990) is about a teenage girl in the 1950’s who is left in the care of her abusive, alcoholic, drug addict father after her mother dies. Patrick Bergin (of “Sleeping With the Enemy” fame) is the dear old dad and Joanna Griffiths is his daughter. Two great performances, especially from Griffiths. Another great film. 3. “Tiresia” (2003) is directed by Bertrand Bonello. It is a modern take on a Greek Mythology tale. A man (Laurent Lucas) kidnaps a transvestite (Clara Choveaux – great actress – more on her later) and keeps her locked up in his cabin/dungeon. It’s best not to read too much about this one before you watch it. 5 star film. This one is excellent. 4. “The Demons” (2015) with Laurent Lucas again (small role this time). This one you will have to be really patient to watch. It’s fucking slow and some of the scenes drag on… Read more »

Thats a punishing list and I hope you watch something more easy-going as well. My recent films are:
Sweet Sugar, 1972
Walk of Shame, 2014
Porridge, 1979
Daltry Calhoun, 2005
The Banger Sisters, 2002
Town & Country, 2001
Boogie Nights, 1997
The Hotel New Hampshire, 1984

Only two of which would I recomend. Porridge because its a good bit of easy watching and Sweet Sugar becaue of one scene where the Doctor(?) has the biggest sadistic grin on his face possible. Scene with pussy cat throwing also tickled me.

One to absolutely avoid is Town and Country.

“Town & Country” (2001) stars Warren Beatty, Diane Keaton and the great Gary Shandling? You can bet I’ll pass on that one. I’m not crazy about comedies but I’ll take a look at some of those.

I just found a website called firstshowing.net. It has a lot of short films on it. “Goodnight Darling” (2021) is about 5 minutes and it’s creepy. Mom was scary. “Blink” (2022) is about 7 minutes and that one is pretty creepy too.

Update:

Apparently the Brazilian horror film “Lacuna” directed by Rodrigo Lages is going to be released later this year (2023). The website horrorfuel.com states “While it looks great, the trailer is tame compared to the film and does not show that the movie is a real gorefest.”

Whenever I am told that a band is the worst band in the world I have to check them out. Motorhead, The Sex Pistols and The Ramones were supposed to be the worst bands in the world and I love all 3 of them. I recently watched “The Ramones – It’s Alive – Live at the Rainbow Theatre London 12/31/77.” At that time The Ramones were at their best. That led me to watch “End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones” (2003) which is an excellent documentary. That led me to watch “Hey Is Dee Dee Home?” (2002) which is a pretty good documentary. That led me to watch “Looking For Johnny” (2014), “Born To Lose: The Last Rock and Roll Movie” (1999) and the saddest one “New York Doll” (2005) about bassist Arthur “Killer” Kane. (I’ve seen all these before but I just watched them again.) I was told that The New York Dolls were the worst band in the world and they are certainly one of them but that was their appeal and what made them icons of the punk movement. Aerosmith hit the big time right about the same time as the Dolls and they look very similar (Aerosmith played at Max’s Kansas City in 1971 and I’m sure the Dolls were there taking notes). David Johansen and Steven Tyler could be twins. Joe Perry and Johnny Thunders could be twins. Even Arthur Kane and Tom Hamilton look alike. The big difference between Aerosmith and… Read more »

Nico, 1988 is worth watching (2017). Not punk rock, not the music most people will enjoy but for a film about a muscial artist. I enjoyed it.
Rude Boy (1980) is a strange film but much closer to the reality of punkish life in England than many of the modern look-back gloss stuff.

I just watched “Nico, 1988” (2017). Great film. Trine Dyrholm who portrayed Nico/Christa was outstanding. The New York Times praised how Dyrholm was photographed in “brutally unforgiving close-up”, saying that it “fully captures the faded charisma of the singer.” It is a captivating performance.

I’ve watched about 45 minutes of “The Clash: Westway to the World” (2000). I’m not really in to The Clash and I don’t really know too much about them. If you want to find out what The Clash are all about this documentary will do absolutely nothing to enlighten you. I usually try to stick it out and get to the end of a film before I judge it but this one really sucks and I can’t stand watching anymore. The Clash always disappoint me. I saw a documentary about Joe Strummer that I thought was good but he can fuck off now too after watching this. (Yeah – I know he’s dead – fuck him – The Clash suck.}

Pedo steve gives us his boy love and you do not complain.
Cunty Cole abuses people for no reason and you do not complain.
Yet someone writes about films (admittedly an overlong strole) and that is what upsets you.
Matt-in-a-dress was far worse as it was impossible to understand and once he had trolled someone he would fill up the thread with endless ping-pong.

From what I’ve seen, some people would pick on certain commenters and disregard or not confront the degenerative behavior of others, and its usually because of their disdainfulness of them, probably triggered by their comments or perhaps they got into an altercation in the past and held a grudge since then. Cunty Cole is a cunt to just about everyone on this site but notice how he picked on OMH the most as OMH usually fires back and stand his ground.

I watched “Victim” (2010) before this one and I thought it was pretty irritating. “Victim” is not nearly as irritating as this one. Go to 1:22:50 (near the end of the film) and listen to a little of the last song in the movie called “Somebody Come and Play” to get a feel of how irritating this movie is before you watch it. I thought Dr. Volk in “Victim” was the most irritating character in a movie until I saw Ramon in this one. A film about someone filming someone who ends up getting filmed. It sucks so bad. 1 star.

“A film about someone filming someone who ends up getting filmed.”

This is a very accurate description of the movie.

It was an easy watch. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good either. It just is there.

Hard to tell what makes “Zusje” work so well. The concept of the faux-documentary and the entirely subjective, mostly hand-held camera-work is both highly original and certainly something novel in the Netherlands at the time. Or is it the main role by Kim van Kooten, who is almost permanently on screen. Director Robert Jan Westdijk apparently auditioned over three hundred candidates for the main role, but none of them apparently had the right quality to express a certain kind of innocence when looking directly into the camera (which occurs a lot). After this endless search, Kim van Kooten – in her debut role – came up as first choice and she is a real find. She really is the kind of unpolished natural talent every first-time director dreams of. Through the subjective camera we’re soon part of a voyeuristic and rather uncomfortable journey when we join video-obsessed Martijn (Romijn Coonen with the voice of Hugo Metsers III) who – after a long absence – decides to pay a surprise visit to his younger sister Daantje (Kim van Kooten) on her 20th birthday and starts filming her almost constantly. She is a design student in Amsterdam and seems quite tolerant of her brother’s continuous presence while he obsessively intrudes her daily goings-on. Daantje engages in a turbulent relationship with Ramon (Roeland Fernhout) whose initial tolerance of Martijn – now entering his life as well – soon makes place for irritation. Through frequent flashbacks (grainy footage shot on super-8) we slowly learn… Read more »

One would be hard pressed to believe that the Psycho-Sexual theater of the mind of any person is Disney clean and free of “deviation”. Incest, a crime of convenience, is most likely to occur in one’s fantasies for that self-same
reason that it occurs in real life, convenience. It is an incredibly powerful fantasy
that requires little and gives much!
