Paul Verhoeven

Paul Verhoeven was born in Amsterdam in 1938. After a television series that made him known in the Netherlands, he made his name in 1973 with a love drama that the whole country went to see, then made a series of films that rank among the most striking of the Dutch seventies. Having moved to the United States, he made genre films with a double meaning there, often read as satires of American society, before returning to work in Europe.
