黑帮父子情 (2015)

　　2015荷兰剧情犯罪片《黑帮父子情》由Remy van Heugten导演，约翰·雷森主演，影片讲述的是：
A powerful fatherson drama plays out in the ignored impoverished Dutch province of South Limburg which offers no opportunity for escape Neither for the characters who carry on an unequal struggle against their social conditions nor for the audience Gluckauf’s chokehold is much too firm for that
Fiftysomething Lei Bart Slegers is a petty criminal just about getting by in the Dutch province of ZuidLimburg His son Jeffrey is everything to him all he has Gluckauf revolves around this suffocating love However it is afflicted by a curse that has its roots in the history of the region
Without the point being overly laboured the closing of the mines in this forgotten part of the Netherlands is felt in every pore of the narrative like a wound that just won’t heal This curse Lei’s exwife refers to it as a ‘punishment’ is given beautiful visual form Many of the settings are sombre and dark like omens of what is to come And during a crucial car journey undertaken by father and son the moment their estrangement begins to sound final Jeffrey says Lei ‘sounds like a woman’ all we can see is a glimpse of Lei’s face and total darkness is just around the corner
Remy van Heugten who grew up in this area has made a personal gripping film that convinces on every level script acting camera art direction and editing are all rock solid The abrasively realistic style is unmistakeably reminiscent of the films of the Dardenne brothers who set most of their films just a stone’s throw away With Gluckauf the Netherlands now has its own version every bit as powerful and painful
