Ruud van Hemert
Ruud van Hemert (29 October 1938 – 5 July 2012)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ruud van Hemert overleden )〕 was a Dutch film director known especially for (dark) comedy. In the 1970s he helped produce and direct TV shows on VPRO before starting a career as a film director.
==Biography==
Ruud van Hemert was the son of television producer Willy van Hemert, and followed in his father's footsteps, making two television films for the VPRO, ''TV-Eiland'' (1965), and ''Pepijn op wieletjes'' ("a children's film for and about naughty children" conceived by Hans Andreus, followed by a few other children's shows, with Harrie Geelen.〔 A breakthrough was the (stylistically experimental) documentary ''Oranje Vrijstaat'', which had controversial politician Roel van Duijn as a central figure. His career took off when he cooperated with Wim T. Schippers, Gied Jaspars, and Wim van der Linden on such shows as ''De Fred Hachéshow'' (1971), ''Barend is weer bezig'' (1972–1973), and ''Van Oekel's Discohoek'' (1974),〔 a series of TV shows that are credited with changing Dutch television forever by destroying it as a medium for serious and proper programming.〔
Van Hemert was already 46〔 when he made his debut as a film director in 1984 with the film ''Schatjes!'' ("Darlings"), one of the biggest box-office hits in Dutch cinema. In ''Schatjes!'', a dark family comedy, guerrilla warfare between disturbed parents (Peter Faber and ) and their disruptive children leads to chaos and mayhem (at the end of the film, the parents are buried, in their car, under a layer of asphalt); the film drew 1.5 million visitors (some 10% of the Dutch population), making it one of the most successful Dutch films ever.〔 Van Hemert followed up with a sequel in 1986, ' ("Momma is angry"), another commercial success with 2 million tickets sold. ''Variety'' noted that while the anti-bourgeois mentality of the TV shows he did for the VPRO was maintained in the films, van Hemert himself said he was influenced more strongly by Hollywood cinema. Dutch films of the period were generally influenced by Hollywood; other "Hollands Hollywood" productions were Dick Maas's ''De Lift'' (1983) and ''Flodder'' (1986).
1988's ''Honneponnetje'', a follow-up to ''Schatjes!'' and ''Mama is boos'', was not well received by critics—it was "no more than a thousandfold-retold wet dream from a frustrated teenager".〔 His career did not fare well during the 1990s, when he was unable to get financing for his scripts. He built a house in Spain and taught acting. He returned, with some success, in 2001 with ''I Love You Too'', based on a novel by , and in 2004 his last film, '.〔 His career, however, went downhill. He wrote about his frustrations with the film industry in a book called ''Bruut'', and retired to Spain. In 2008 he survived prostate cancer, but in 2011 he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of throat cancer and he died the year after,〔 at the house of friends in Wapserveen.
