Dress

Alex van Warmerdam, looking very serious

(Sorry, Dutch Again). De Jurk (The Dress, 1996) is a movie by Alex van Warmerdam, a Dutch director with almost semi-cult status.
All credits go to my (TY) nephew who pointed me to this film.

The Dress is a tale filled with sex, violence, comedy and drama as it follows the life of a dress. Conceived under a cloud of frustration and despair, the dress serves as the hub in a great wheel of misfortune in an extraordinary sequence of events that envelope both the dress and those fatefully drawn into its universe. An aloof artist, a virginal school girl, an unfulfilled maid, a lowly train conductor and a broken business executive, all become involuntary players in a macabre game of tag. No one who comes in contact with the dress can escape its dramatic, shocking and hilarious consequences.

Here is a crazy 3:00 min. scene from the first CD. I almost pissed my pants from laughter. It gives you some tone and taste for the rest of the movie. The 50MB. .avi clip is under this hotlink. You will like the English .srt subtitle file for the extra experience.

The full .avi is Dutch spoken and comes in 2x700MB. cd’s with Spanisch .srt subtitle files.
