> Turks Fruit ... aka Turkish Delight IMDB rating: 7.2 Country: The Netherlands, 1973 Runtime: 112 minutes Genre: Drama Language: Dutch Summary The most popular film in Dutch history, Turkish Delight stars Rutger Hauer as Erik Vonk, a free spirited sculptor who enters into a passionate affair with the beautiful Olga (Monique van de Ven), whose thirst for sexual experimentation matches his own. As their romance progresses, the two decide to marry, but their relationship is opposed by Olga's mother, who thinks Erik is a scoundrel and unfit to marry her daughter. Slowly, the differences between Erik and Olga's family bring about the end of their relationship. Years later, the two meet again and, under a much different set of circumstances, bring some amount of closure to their turbulent relationship. Paul Verhoeven's wonderfully satisfying romance is a beautiful and erotic film that cemented his reputation as the Netherlands's finest director.
