After seeing Michael Verhoeven’s new movie, “The Unknown Soldier,” and Paul Verhoeven’s new movie, “Black Book,” both of which were presented last month at the Jerusalem Jewish Film Festival, one arrives rapidly at the conclusion that it is a very bad idea to lie to anyone by the name of Verhoeven.
Michael Verhoeven, the scholarly scion of a distinguished German theater family, was drawn by youthful rebellion to study medicine.
Verhoeven follows the exhibit along its tour of Germany, training his camera alternately on the docents and on the roiling crowds outside, then breaks free into his own uncompromising attempts to tease the facts from the morass.

Detective Nick Curran (Michael Douglas) is on the case, and immediately the signs point to millionairess and bestselling author Catherine Trammell (Sharon Stone) as a suspect.

Michael Verhoeven, who'll receive a lifetime achievement award as principal tributee at this year's Berlin and Beyond festival, was already in his 50s when his The Nasty Girl (Das Schreckliche Mädchen) lit up 1990's Berlin International Film Festival.
Many international viewers unfamiliar with Verhoeven's prior features assumed Nasty Girl to be a young man's debut effort, so much did it reflect the brashness, idealism, and high energy of its titular heroine, who, as indelibly played by Lena Stolze, becomes the darling of her Bavarian hamlet when she wins a prestigious essay contest.
Michael Verhoeven himself plays the one soldier who refused to participate and ultimately brought the others to some semblance of justice.

Years later, Sonja gets married and has children, but she's still determined to get to the truth, and the townsfolk who supported her once are equally determined to keep her from uncovering too much.
Verhoeven makes a noble attempt to satirize attitudes that lead people to repress unpleasant truths and underlying realities.
The director whitewashes any emotional fallout: in what is perhaps the film's most unforgivable moment, Verhoeven has his heroine first voice and then dismiss any second thoughts she might have in a mere ten-second sequence.

You know Paul," he says, imitating Verhoeven's Dutch accent, "'Yah, yah, there is nud-it-ty, nud-it-ty, yah, show your breasts.' He's like an X-ray machine." Finally, partly by a process of elimination, partly by dint of a strong screen test with Douglas, but mostly because of Verhoeven's persistence, Stone won the part.
In his office at Carolco, Paul Verhoeven, a shaggy, snaggletoothed, mischievous wolf of a man in a pair of fl jeans and a gray button-down shirt, suggests that the combination of himself, Stone, and Douglas was occasionally charged.
I'm asking Paul Verhoeven why the Motion Picture Association of America didn't allow Catherine's very vocal orgasm into the R-rated version of Basic Instinct, and he tells me it wasn't so much the orgasm they objected to as the amount of "moving" that Douglas was doing on top of her at the time.

 ‘The Nasty Girl’ (PG-13)
With all its resourcefulness and romp, Michael Verhoeven's "The Nasty Girl" is a spunky German cousin of "His Girl Friday," an energetic, fl-comic celebration of a gutsy gal news-gatherer and the high cost of digging for truth.
Verhoeven, no relation to "RoboCop's" Paul, has been engaged in social criticism most of his life.
Though the film was shot in Anna Rosmus's hometown of Passau, Verhoeven calls Sonja's town Pfilzing, from the German verb filzen, which means to be stingy or retentive.

 : IKONEN : Rezension Michael Verhoeven DVD Box weisse Rose Mutters Courage Kinowelt DVD Stiglegger
Der deutsche Filmemacher Michael Verhoeven entstammt einer ganzen Dynastie von Filmschaffenden: sein Vater Paul Verhoeven galt als einer großen Unterhaltungsregisseure des Dritten Reiches und der Nachkriegszeit, seine Frau Senta Berger hatte in den sechziger und siebziger Jahren den Status eines Hollywoodstars, und auch seine Geschwister und Kinder haben sich im Film- und Theatergeschäft etabliert.
Verhoevens begleitender Dokumentarfilm DAS MÄDCHEN UND DIE STADT interviewt die realen Beteiligten und bleibt in mancherlei Hinsicht die effektivere Aufarbeitung des Themas.
Hier arbeitet Verhoeven zwar wieder mit dem kinotypischen Breitwandformat und sorgfältig rekonstruierter Ausstattung, die Kommentare des realen Tabori, der die Szenereie gelegentlich betritt, brechen jedoch die Illusion und bekräftigen den brechtschen Gestus von Verhoevens Regie.

The Germans are inexplicably fond of the barbaric practice of dubbing (maybe it's something in the pork); to an American (to this American, at least), the dubbing transforms the setting from Hungary into Hunmany or Germary, provinces of the magic kingdom Co-ProductionLand.
In a press statement, Verhoeven is quite articulate about the non- (and implicitly, anti-)Hollywood approach of MY MOTHER'S COURAGE: "I am not trying to...overrun the audience with total illusion, but on the contrary am trying to make the audience my accomplice.

 Film Review: The Nasty Girl
Based on a true story, the film is told in fl-and-white flashbacks in pseudo-documentary style, with characters talking directly to camera and writer/director Michael Verhoeven using rear-projection sets that give it a theatrical feel.
The flashbacks to Sonja's childhood in the Seventies have an Amelie-like quirkiness and innocence, but Verhoeven never misses an opportunity to poke fun at the town and its stodgy, right wing values, with the church the target of much of his ridicule.
Verhoeven paints a convincing picture of a small town with a big secret and asks serious questions about a still sensitive subject.

 The Nasty Girl DVD Review from iofilm.co.uk
Verhoeven met Rosmus and, as he puts it, "pestered" her to let him bring her story to the screen.
He changed her name to Sonja and changed the location and decided to call it The Girl And The Town, which would have been a strong contender for the most boring title in movie history, before opting for The Nasty Girl.
Verhoeven touches on some aspects of his directorial style - the use of theatrical background sets and a scene in which Sonja's family drive through the town on a carnival float done up to resemble their living room - but at just 20 minutes the interview barely scratches the surface.
