In Dutch with English subtitles. Widescreen. Also known as The Assault.

The Dutch-filmed De Aanslag was based on a novel by Harry Mulisch. Presented in a non-linear, flashback/flash-forword fashion, the film tells the story of a physician whose family was killed by the Nazis during World War II. This came about after the family's neighbors dragged the body of a dead collaborator to their doorstep. The doctor spends his entire adult life trying to find out why his neighbors had betrayed his family. At various isolated moments of political upheaval in Europe, the doctor comes closer and closer to the truth. During a 1984 anti-missile rally, the mystery is solved--and the answer is more complex than anyone back in 1945 had imagined. The hero's "growth" is thus placed in the context of the international turmoil of the four decades following the war. Marc van Uchelen plays the main character as a 12-year-old, while Derek de Lint portrays the adult physician. De Aanslag was the "best foreign film" Academy Award winner of 1987.

Reviewer: John C Boggiss from Surrey, BC Canada  
Great DVD. Incredible movie, well-deserved Best Foreign Film Oscar. Resolution is wonderful. Seems slightly better than when I saw it in the theatre back in '86.

5 of 5 De Aanslag May 18, 2022
Reviewer: Malcolm Sax from San Diego, CA United States  
I couldn't be more pleased with the quality of a film I could find no place else with English sub-titles at any price.  The service was first class, and I received the merchandise in a timely manner in perfect condition.  The movie itself was great.  A harrowing and well told story that kept my attention from start to finish.  A masterful script and wonderful direction.

Reviewer: James Naveira from IRVINGTON, NY United States  
I have been looking for this film since I first saw it upon initial release. I bought a VHS tape dubbed in English (ugh) many moons ago, but have never seen it on DVD. Thanks you for offering a good-quality DVD in original Dutch with subtitles.
