Fons Rademakers' Makker staakt, uw wild geraas , which won him the Silver Bear at the Berlinale in 1961, is an episodic film about three families - and three family models - just before Sinterklaasavond, the Dutch Christmas Eve. A "modern", separated couple, a young family whose father alien is, and an old, middle-class, which is lost her estranged son to be in preparation for the festivities put on a stress test, although a majority and predictable remarriage on amounts , not forgiving in any case ends.
Rademakers' second film will be gain the subject neither originality nor scandal, but invested at the beginning - in a scene that perspectivized the cinematic space as a stage to debate on which a man and a woman her failed marriage - Ibsen and Strindberg as a license to the bashing of the civil code of values. Not by chance is this woman, a successful advertising photographer, after Ibsen's most famous character Nora. Soon, however, places the film from the theatrical allure and remembers his own funds. How Makk staakt uw wild geraas the early 1960s to pregnant Optimistic views of consumerism, compressed under its surface a simmering discontent that can not reject longer a must-see if you have not seen it already with the Mad Men . Significantly, even when the only work Rademakers world that imposes itself between all of the consumer paradise, that of advertising. Analogous to advertising agency and photo studio where you can watch the spectacle of society at work is evident in the home (his maintenance, paper, etc.) as a logistical feat.
until shortly before the end structures the principle of "look behind the scenes" the individual episodes, at Nikolaus evening then it is no longer entangled. Dark shapes, wearing mitres and snow-white beards chase through the streets of Amsterdam, followed by their even stranger-looking helpers. As if the scenes had become independent, to haunt us as a nightmare. Unfortunately, the playful film of this beautiful final scene, when he last still unclear that it is nothing but disguised fathers.
