About This Movie
Under the Palms is an intriguing blend of drama and human tension, set against the stark backdrop of Rotterdam. The film revolves around David and Tanya, a couple tethered to the morally ambiguous Ludwig, David's half-brother. It explores complex relationships and the weight of dependence in a world that feels both oppressive and isolating. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to dwell on the characters' internal struggles. Helmut Berger delivers a nuanced performance that captures David's inner turmoil, while Sheri Hagen complements him with a raw sincerity. Udo Kier brings a chilling presence as Ludwig, creating an atmosphere thick with unease. The film's practical effects, though minimal, enhance its gritty realism, making it a unique piece in the landscape of late '90s cinema.
