The past is here ...
Old secrets revealed
Dutch Menno Meyjes' third directorial attempt De Held (The Hero) manges to keep interest. We understand quickly there's hidden secrets in a Jewish family.
Meyjes has made an apadtion of the eponymous novel by Dutch writer Jessica Durlacher, based on her own family story.
We are introduced to a family through a party, with an old patriarch with an obviously dark secret from his past. And now that past i coming back to haunt him and his family.
When he dies, secrets are revealed, and much of what the patriarch told is not adding up.
The problem from there, which is a great plit, is that the excitement isn't going anywhere. It's s too inept attempt of a trailer, even if the actors are doing their best.
The film comes out mediocre.
