"For a Lost Soldier"
(Voor een verloren soldaat)
1992

I made this video montage presentation about the story of a romantic relationship between a boy and a man. Set in the Netherlands near the end of WWII, the film is a flashback recalling an adolescent relationship between Jeroen and a Canadian soldier. A difficult subject handled with style and feeling.

Based on the 1986 autobiographical novel 'Voor Een Verloren Soldaat' by Rudi van Dantzig.

Video created with Sony Vegas; "When You Kiss Me" performed by Shania Twain and edited with Audacity software.

  • A VERY courageous boy actor - Maarten Smit - ; obviously open minded and dedicated to his acting craft (and possibly truely gay - of wich there is nothing wrong with).

    A beautiful, intelligently made film about an admitedly very controversial topic, intergenerational love.

    And boys that young CAN fall in love. Most adults absolutely refuse to acnowledge this (it's called 'living in denial').

  • @hunkydory8015 Not much is known about Maarten Smit (Jeroen). Other than "For a Lost Soldier" and according to imdb, he appeared in a short in 1997. Thanks for the comments.

  • Beautifully crafted video montage, sensitively done and focusing on the boy's feelings of love. Well done, liberafan.

  • @Lucyverre Van Dantzig will be remembered for his contributions to the art world.

  • Henk Bres zou de jongen, de soldaat en Rudi van Danzig de nek om draaien.

    Zulke fanatici en hun ongenuanceerde acties zijn het echte gevaar in onze samenleving.

    This is what happened Antonio, you may like it or not, it's the reality.

    The author of the (autobiografic) novel just died today. He was the boy.

  • why is it that almost every beautiful movies that i know always end with sad ending?

  • @hargohargo

    The relationship between this boy and this man does not bring up homophobia but pedophila.. There is a big difference.. but with that being said, it seems like the does 'like' love the man.. although I think he would have been satisfied with a more brothely relationship - just to feel loved.
