SPETTERS

Spetters, Holland, 1980
Dutch film Spetters was released in 1980, directed by Paul Verhoeven. The movie, which is violent and sexually graphic, is a high-speed coming of age story, centers on three young men dreaming of an escape from their provincial surroundings and are dreaming of a motorcross career. The movie led to many protests in Holland about the caricatural manner in which Verhoeven portrayed gays, Christians, the police, and the press, but was a big commercial succes.
