Gloating is a beautiful and deeply human thing. Director, screenwriter and film producer Paul Ruven - known for one Dutch film blockbuster after another, we call it Het Bombardement - recently received an impressive bowl of critical shit poured over him following his new bake The Surrender. So many, in fact, that Amsterdam cinemas didn't want to get burned by it.
Still, Ruven does not let himself be cowed.
Were it not for the fact that he rented the venue himself. Outside regular programming. So.
Yes, it can be done that way. We will keep you informed.
*Update*
All nonsense, Ruven said. He tweeted:
Presumably we are dealing here with a kek PR stunt by Ruven & consorts. Be that as it may. Our interest - in this undoubtedly BEUKER of a film - is piqued. See the Facebook page Surrendering together at the surrender for more information.
