 | | After two films made for Holland-based First Floor Features, Abel (1986, Best Direction and Best Film, Dutch Film Festival) and The Northerners (1992, Best Direction Dutch Film Festival, Felix for Best New European Film), De Jurk is the first production from Graniet Film, a company created to produce all of Alex van Warmerdam's future films. |
 | | De Jurk, the third film from Alex van Warmerdam, tells the tale of a dress from its genesis as the cotton is picked in a Spanish field to its cremation with the body of its final wearer. |
 | | The production process was 'like building a tree-house from scratch', says Marc van Warmerdam, describing the considerable efforts involved in bringing to fruition the first collaboration under the Graniet Film banner. |
