"An all-out assault on Bourgeois sensibilities that can be cited in the same breath as Last Tango In Paris." -The Los Angeles Times
Erik Vonk (Rutger Hauer) is a carefree artist and ladies man until he meets Olga (Monique van de Ven), a beautiful young woman with an equal passion for sexual adventure. They marry in a frenzy of erotic ecstasy, only to find that real life has other plans. When Olga is struck by a tragic illness, Erik must make a searing choice between a lust that cannot be tamed and a love that refuses to die.
Critics worldwide called Turkish Delight one of the most powerful and explicit -- love stories of all time. Directed by Paul Verhoeven (Basic Instinct, Starship Troopers) and shot by Jan De Bont (director of Speed and Twister), the film became an international sensation as well as the most popular movie in Dutch history.

Dutch Delight - the masterpiece
kobrajack | 15/02/2008 | See all kobrajack's reviews (15) »
Directed by Paul Verhoeven, Turkish Delight is perhaps one of the most fascinating inventive films to dare being released and undoubtedly the finest piece of Dutch cinema.
A truly novel story of young love with both passionate and horrific imagination. Turkish Delight not only explores the blissful side of a relationship, but the mystery behind explicit and taboo needs of human nature that will confidently relate to our unmentioned desires.
Set in the backdrop of Amsterdam and Alkmaar in the Netherlands, Erik Vonk (Rutger Hauer) an artist and ladies man meets the beautiful young Olga (Monique van de Ven). Their strong sexual attraction allows them to marry and explore life and each other, but life has other plans for them.
I would most certainly recommend this film to anyone who is tired of watching the same old happy endings and is not afraid to observe the actual 'unusual' norms that exist in society.
