Jaap Hoogstra: Geboorte Werd Hem Zijn Dood

2005 · 24 min

Jaap Hoogstra: Geboorte Werd Hem Zijn Dood (2005) AKA Jaap Hoogstra - A Piece of Monologue is a portrait of the gay Dutch theatre actor Jaap Hoogstra (1915–1998), who is famous for bringing Samuel Beckett to the Lowlands. The portrait centers on Jaap discussing his life as a gay man and rehearsing Beckett's fifteen-minute 1980 play A Piece of Monologue. Featuring music by Willy Alberti. Hoogstra previously appeared in Kaganof's transgressive Georges Bataille adaptation The Dead Man 2: Return of the Dead Man (1994). Jaap Hoogstra - A Piece of Monologue features excerpts from The Dead Man 2, including the infamous urophilia scene where a woman pisses on Hoogstra's face while she is standing on a bar table.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Jaap Hoogstra: Geboorte Werd Hem Zijn Dood is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A 2005 film from an era before CGI overload, with real performances that still hit hard. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
