De Dick Maas Methode

The colourful story of the turbulent career of Dick Maas, the cinematographer who intensely shook up Dutch cinema with hit movies such as De lift and Flodder. But his career was not always strewn with roses. At the Film Academy, Dick Maas was already a maverick. A driven cinematographer with an acute sense of horror, action and black humour, which caught on with the audiences. Illustrated by a treasure trove of unique footage and photographs from his private archive, Maas and a host of associates and film connoisseurs provide a glimpse behind the scenes. About his golden years, with hit movies like De lift, Flodder and Amsterdamned, American dreams and tougher times. The story of a cult director who prefers to do things his way.
