Mesmering
After a slow start that seems to offer superficial gratuitous sex the film deepens and deepens through the courageous and mesmeric performance by Hannah Hoekstra. The cinematography, naturalistic camerawork, pithily Dutch dialogue, uncontrived performances and minimalist sound track manifest Sacha Polak's unpretentious direction. Hans Dagelet seems to fit like a glove into his role as the wearily urbane father.
Good film
I don't get the negative reviews. I know this film isn't for everyone, it's kind of slow moving and depressing. I think it does however give an excellent portrayal of a young woman in a lot of pain. You have to feel so sorry for her, she's just lost. She's sad and sex is exactly how a lot of people deal with these feelings. Hannah Hoekstra does an amazing job portraying this character though she may be a little too pretty for the role, not that attractive people can't be sad too. I think the nudity is not gratuitous at all, it helps define the character. If you haven't seen Hemel, give it a chance.
Cheap one with no plot
So stupid with no sense no plot don't waste your time skip this.
... daughter using sex repressing-daddy-issues.. out of the blue & underrated
... this is a great film... w-many-outstanding-performances... Hannah Hoekstra's phenomenal ... almost ten years coming across it... will surely watch-it-again.
Fairly Realistic.
I came away feeling that the father did not prepare Hemel for life without him. It's not a skin flick but simply a warning NOT to raise a daughter as this one did. She deserved better.
Did you know
- TriviaHannah Hoekstra said she had doubts about accepting the role because of the graphic nude scenes: "Already in the first scene I'm in bed with a man and my pubic hair is shaved off. I really doubted whether I should play this role, whether by doing so I wouldn't be opening the door to a string of nude roles. Guys, we'll ask Hannah Hoekstra, she'll take off her clothes. That I said yes anyway was due to the good script and the fact that both the scriptwriter and the director were women. Hemel is so much about female sexuality, about searching for the limit, about saying no, about intimacy... I would find it almost disgusting for a man to write a script like that."
