De noorderlingen (The Northerners)
Just like his debut Abel (1986), Van Warmerdam's De noorderlingen won two Golden Calves. The director plays the spying mailman in a minimal new housing estate in 1960, with one street and one bus stop, shot in taut compositions. An absurdist world full of repressed feelings, with a sexually frustrated butcher, his venerated, fasting wife, an unfertile hunter and Theo van Gogh on a red moped.
