Der etwas heruntergekommene Bildhauer Erik begegnet beim Trampen der abenteuer- und lebenshungrigen Olga. Die schöne Frau aus bürgerlich-konservativen Verhältnissen wird die “Liebe seines Lebens”, doch die eingegangene Ehe geht bald aufgrund sexueller Eskapaden und Olgas grenzenlosem Freiheitsdrang in die Brüche. Sie brennt schließlich mit einem reichen Amerikaner durch. Nach einigen Jahren trifft Erik sie zufällig wieder. Er erfährt, dass sie inzwischen als Prostituierte ein trauriges Dasein fristet und an einem unheilbaren Gehirntumor leidet. (Verleiher-Text)

Paul Verhoeven showed long before he came to Hollywood that he could make great films, just as Rutger Hauer showed that he was a great actor who was willing to do more than others. And to also show more. Here, it's shown that nudity is entirely natural and serves a purpose in the film, beautifully presented in a depressingly poignant manner.

It’s the excretion Olympics! Because absolutely everything possible gets excreted here. Pregnant brides excrete amniotic fluid, which is then licked up by dogs. They in turn excrete on the pavements of the city, which excretes black waste into the sea, on whose shores grow beautiful flowers, which in turn excrete worms and insects. The only thing that doesn’t get passed here is the possibility of finding horse's eye among the gastronomic specialties of a luxury restaurant. The mirrors are covered in vomit and the poop is beet red. Verhoeven off the leash here reminds me of a combination of beatnik non-conformists with seventies exploitation (the latter thanks in particular to a wild handheld camera), and it's terrible fun. Somehow they're all there (quite knowingly) for the rollercoaster ride. I'm intrigued that this cliché of the torn narcissistic artist hasn't changed much in the intervening years, because a lot of the guys I know from the Academy of Visual Arts are exactly these kinds of pricks surrounding themselves with overgrown kids, which they then realize themselves on.
