Abel has never left home (literally). After failing with doctors and psychiatrists, Abel’s father Victor brings home Christine, a friend, in an attempt to teach Abel basic social skills. But Victor’s wife Duif accuses him of having an affair, and in the ensuing row Abel is thrown out into the street. But help is at hand when he runs into kind-hearted stripper Zus – whose show Victor is obsessed with…
Abel was the big surprise of the 1986 cinema year. Out of nowhere, the film by debut director Alex van Warmerdam drew more than 400,000 visitors to Dutch cinemas. And this despite the fact that Van Warmerdam, a theatre director at Orkater and De Mexicaanse Hond, had no film experience whatsoever. Truly everything about Abel was idiosyncratic, authentic, and unpredictable. The press praised the dialogue, the design, and the “vintage” Van Warmerdam atmosphere.
