90' - 1989 - Crime, Mystery, Thriller - Dialogue: Dutch
The reality of 'No Potatoes' is the reality of Theo van Gogh. Theo van Gogh's reality is the shifted reality of everyday. In the world of van Gogh, a brilliant lawyer hates his clients, and a sweet little girl calls her daddy an asshole. In Van Gogh's eyes, judges can be semi-demented caricatures who spit excessively when they speak and who fold the records into paper planes. A receptionist of a fancy hotel might just as well be a smelly type with greasy hair. Yet, van Gogh's reality cannot be considered a joke. On the contrary, using seemingly odd contrasts, he does indeed create an image of the world that suggests a high degree of authenticity. The sometimes whimsical and unaccountable behaviour of van Gogh's characters lends them background, depth, humanity. (pressbook)
