	Paul Verhoeven - Films as Director:
		Paul Verhoeven, a director of international acclaim who has achieved both critical and commercial success, is also one of Hollywood's most controversial.
		Verhoeven began his filmmaking career as a director of short subjects and, while serving with the Royal Dutch Navy, documentaries.
		It was a landmark film, as Verhoeven became the first director in the United States hired by a major motion picture studio to deliver a film without the obligation of achieving an R rating.

		It's true that the story of Verhoeven's life as a filmmaker might best be considered under some rubric more complicated than "brilliant," but as far as I know, Salon has no plans to launch a column called Ambiguous Careers.
		Verhoeven's career has a peculiar coherence that isn't easy to grasp; in order to understand his American films you need to see his European films, and vice versa.
		Verhoeven foresaw his current problematic fate in a characteristically frank interview with Bob Strauss of the Boston Globe in 1997, before the release of "Troopers": "When your movies work, it gives you more power.

	Paul verhoeven interview 1
		Throughout his career, Verhoeven has made a point of exploring the limits of what might be considered acceptible on screen, whether it's violence or sex.
		Verhoeven has often said that he believes violence in society stems from sexual repression - from puritanism.
		Life as a character in a Verhoeven film is a raw, visceral and often gut-wrenching ordeal, and death is usually extreme and brutal.

	Kinoeye\| Dutch film: Paul Verhoeven Turks fruit/Turkish Delight
		Paul Verhoeven is now best known for the international hits he made in Hollywood: Robocop (1987), Total Recall (1990), Basic Instinct (1992), Starship Troopers (1997) and Hollow Man (2000).
		Verhoeven at the time of Turks fruit was a young film-maker who was enjoying domestic success with his television series and short military service films.
		Verhoeven, not unlike Vonk in the film, challenged authority and prevailing values, and with the runaway success of the film proved that Dutch cinema could have a voice.

		Verhoeven's background in physics leads him to muse, "if someone were to really become invisible, they would be blind, because their retinas would no longer collect light, but pass it on through" (Warren 2000, 70).

	Symbolic Power and Religious Impotence in Paul Verhoeven’s Spetters by Richard S. Ascough
		Verhoeven explores, and most often rejects, much of the classical Christian responses to issues of theodicy, ultimately suggesting that traditional Christian theology is inadequate and impotent, unable to satisfyingly address the problem of evil.
		Although Verhoeven received much criticism of his film for the graphic depiction of the male member, the symbolism is a key part of the plot.
		Verhoeven’s choice of vehicles and his slightly lower than eyeline-match camera angle serve to indicate that although power seems to rest in the hands of Henkhof, real power resides with Fientje.

		While it's true that Verhoeven denies the film is a comedy or satire, I feel it is undeniable that the film is a criticism, as well as a perfectly toned melodrama in the tradition of Douglas Sirk, which can often be read as serious and funny simultaneously.
		While I commend O'Hehir for his insightful article on Verhoeven, and was pleased to see a critic finally recognize the artistry of Verhoeven's films, I consider it evasive and critically irresponsible to skirt the misogyny issue so thoroughly.
		Verhoeven's films are complex, and worthy of critical analysis, but they should be addressed honestly, without shirking their unpleasant sexist under- and overtones.

		Verhoeven was advised to give a role to Vladimir Mashkov, who had played in Amercian movies and speaks good English.

		Born in Amsterdam right before World War II, Paul Verhoeven's childhood was indelibly impacted by the Nazi invasion and occupation of his homeland.

		Verhoeven could have continued on as the most successful director in the history of the Netherlands, but he longed for Hollywood success, and made the move as soon as he could.

	Boxoffice Magazine Cover: Director Paul Verhoeven (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		On May 14, 1940, his family having just relocated to Rotterdam's outskirts from his Amsterdam birthplace, Verhoeven stood witness to the brutal bombing of the port city that killed 980 people and destroyed 20,000 buildings.
		One journalist, in the dimness not seeing the fl-attired Verhoeven near a mid-theatre control board, bumps into the director and apologizes.
		Verhoeven's previous exercises in the sci-fi genre, 1987's "RoboCop" ($53.4 million domestic) and 1990's "Total Recall" ($119.3 million), were also Rs, but their older stars -- Peter Weller and Nancy Allen, and Arnold Schwarz-enegger and Sharon Stone, respectively -- perhaps attracted adults in numbers that made up for the restrictions on under-17 attendance.

		Made in 1975 and directed by Paul Verhoeven, Katie Tippel ("Katie the Streetwalker") is a handsome period drama set in 19th-century Holland, based on a true story.
		Verhoeven's European films are much more sexually explicit than anything he made in the States.
		Verhoeven never shies away from showing violence, rape and full frontal nudity to drive his point home and Keetje Tipple is no exception.

	ChrisW's "Starship Troopers" Page
		Verhoeven has said in interviews that he had not read the book ahead of time (so as to not contaminate "his vision" or some such), and this statement, at least, is consistent with all of the evidence.
		Verhoeven et al claim that it was left out of the $100 million movie because it would have been too expensive, and because they were unable to "do it right." So, instead of battlesuited MIs dropping from orbit, we have fairly conventionally equipped soldiers landed in contraptions that look an awful lot like freight containers.
		Neumeier and Verhoeven come from countries that saw the horrors of the Third Reich up close and, in Verhoeven's case, within his own lifetime; their agenda, if anything, is anti-fascist in nature.

		The international breakthrough film for director Paul Verhoeven and actor Rutger Hauer, Turkish Delight joined a number of its European contemporaries by drawing in both the art house and sexploitation crowds.
		Verhoeven fans will be the most receptive audience to Turkish Delight's anarchic blend of emotions, body functions, and seemingly nonstop sex scenes; though it doesn't go completely over the edge like the later Spetters (sadly still missing in action on DVD), this is still taboo stretching material today, even by European standards.
		As with most of his other films, Verhoeven chips in directly with a commentary track in which he recalls in fine detail the making of the film and describes the social conditions under which it was made.

	Paul Verhoeven (Starship Troopers)
		Coming off a debacle that would have ended the career of a lesser director-- the stupefyingly moronic Showgirls (1995)--Paul Verhoeven had reason to be anxious as he awaited the release of his new film, Starship Troopers.
		Running for cover back to the more stylized world of sci-fi, Verhoeven chose a story whose themes are sure to incite angry reactions in some quarters.
		For Verhoeven, born in Amsterdam in 1938, fascism is not a subject from a history book, but something he knows first-hand from childhood experiences during the Nazi occupation.

		Verhoeven delved further into the sci-fi jumbo-effects genre with his next film, Hollow Man. Kevin Bacon starred in the remake of the H.G. Wells classic of moral deterioration that occurs after experimenting with human invisibility.
		Verhoeven is a sadistic pervert who admits to making films like Basic Instinct and Show Girls simply because he likes looking at naked people, and admits to films like Robocop and Total recall because he likes to see violence.

		I met Verhoeven during his visit to Amsterdam’s Fantastic Film Festival, where he was to receive the event’s Lifetime Achievement award that evening.

		Though at 64 his hair is rather more salt than pepper, his teeth are strikingly Hollywoodish in their size and gleaming brightness — it seems appropriate that ‘shark’ is a word English stole from Dutch, though Verhoeven bares his fangs mainly to smile, at least away from the set.
