Back in Rotterdam with his Taiwanese-Dutch production Dead & Beautiful, the IFFR regular David Verbeek had a world premiere of his genre-bending drama (which screened in the Limelight section) whose plot centers around five uber-rich young people and their attempts to feel real life by “taking turns”.
