I came across the film Character, 1997, directed by the Dutch director Mike van Diem, who had very high ratings, including my friends, moviegoers, and I decided to watch it. This is a film adaptation of the novel of the same name by Ferdinand Bordevijk, which then became a bestseller. First, the series was made on it in 1971, and then this film. In 1998, he was awarded an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. The characters of the three main characters are exactly the tangle from which the plot grows. The main character, on behalf of which, mainly, the narrative is conducted, Jacob Catadreff (Fedya van Heit), was raised by a single mother (Betty Schurman) also with a very complex character. Once she worked as a maid for the famous bailiff Dreverhaven (Jan Deckler), one day he decided to sleep with her, after which she found that she was pregnant, left him. When he found out about her pregnancy, he sent her a letter asking her to marry and sent her money, she rejected both, he persisted, 13 times he sent her money, and she sent it back, although she was very poor. One raised a son, with whom, however, she also had no intimacy, she was extremely verbose, the boy was bullied at school, calling him the son of a whore, he had no friends. He found himself an occupation that took almost all his time - in the apartment they rented, a bag of books from former residents was found, and the boy began to study them independently. He grew up, made a little friends with their resident-communist, but his ideas were not carried away, he was attracted by something else, he at all costs wanted to get up and began to go in this direction. Relations with his father, which is difficult to call a relationship, were extremely difficult, the impression was that he wanted not to help him, but to drown. It ended very unusual, I will not tell you. I also liked the film, the actors play well, the plot is unbeaten. The film was not very ordinary, it looked tense and I will not recommend it to everyone, but the film was very strong.
