Film 'Twin Sisters' ('De Tweeling') scene in The Hague, 1947

'The Hague, 1947', in my opinion the most gripping scene of the dutch Oscar nominated film 'De Tweeling' ('Twin Sisters', 2003), with great acting by Thekla Reuten (playing Lotte) and Nadja Uhl (playing Anna). Nominated for an Academy Award (Best Foreign Language Film, 2003), TWIN SISTERS (DE TWEELING) is the emotional and provocative story that tells the tale of two sisters who must come to terms with their fate amid the heat of World War II. Lotte and Anna become orphans by the age of six. One is sent to live a life of privilege with wealthy relatives in the Netherlands, while the other stays in Germany to face a harsh existence on her uncle's farm. When they reconnect years later, they not only discover that their lives have taken drastically different paths but, following Germany's invasion of Holland, they find themselves pitted on opposite sides of the war. Powerful and thought provoking, this award-winning motion picture earned worldwide critical acclaim! The picture is far from good here, but this scene gives you an idea of the emotional power of this great film. Buy and watch it in good quality on dvd!

The best film of all time. I am Dutch Canadian (born in Canada) and spoke Dutch in my younger years, so I was able to understand the Dutch. Just have to tell my mom about this film!

ja, één van de meest aangrijpende scenes. ik vind de film eigenlijk van begin tot einde een totale TOP! Het einde begreep ik pas na zo'n 10 keer kijken. Lotte zegt zoiets als: "Oh, dat wilde je horen ...." En dat was het einde! Eindelijk begreep ik: Anna wilde horen: je bent mijn zusje, mijn tweelingzusje. PRACHT FILM!

ik ben absoluut geen fan van de Nederlandse film, maar deze is werkelijk waar schitterend. Staat samen met Zwartboek op mijn favo lijst.
