Evenaar

About This Movie

Evenaar (1985) is a curious blend of comedy and music that captures the quirks of domestic life in a rather lighthearted way. The dynamic between Claartje van Dijk, played by Simone Kleinsma, and her husband Bob, portrayed by Jos Brink, is pretty entertaining. You’ve got this tension of wanting to separate yet still being tied to the same space. The pacing feels relaxed, allowing for those musical interludes, which add a distinct charm. It’s not groundbreaking, but the performances hold a certain warmth that keeps it engaging. The practical effects are minimal—mostly just the set design and some costumes that reflect the 80s vibe. Overall, it’s a nice snapshot of Dutch musical theatre of that era, with a tone that balances humor and a hint of melancholy.
