Somewhat dated now, and made long before his move to Hollywood, Turkish Delight is nonetheless unmistakably a product of the now-familiar Verhoeven style. The film's language and images still have the power to shock or offend, and we certainly get to see far too much of Hauer's private parts, even though some amazing visuals (mirrored candles, inspired beach art, and a nightmarish red Chinese restaurant) are some compensation. --Paul Tonks

Customer Reviews of Turkish Delight
a story that grips you 'Turkish Delight' is taken from the novel 'Turks fruit', written by well-known Dutch author Jan Wolkers. His book dates from the late sixties, and is themed on a typical issue of those days: the generation gap, in this case heavily accentuated by a blunt display of sex. <

>Nevertheless there is much more to the book -- and consequently to the movie. The difficult role of female lead Olga for instance, a mentally unstable girl beautifully acted out by Monique van de Ven. Its very Dutch setting. The slow but sure decline of the relationship, when Olga increasingly drifts away to other men. Tenderness returns, however, when it becomes clear Olga will die of a brain tumor. <

>Despite all display of blatant sex, this movie surely manages to stir up everyone's emotions. Its music score cleverly accentuates the essential sadness of its plot. <

>A few years ago 'Turks fruit' was acclaimed as Holland's most important movie of the 20th century. Few did dispute this choice. The movie catapulted both Rutger Hauer and Monique van de Ven to fame. Rutger extending his career in the USA, while Monique mainly sticked to Holland. By now 'Turkish Delight' has been turned into a musical, with artistical co-supervision by its original author Jan Wolkers.
Musique?
Great movie!
I thought he music was an important part of the film.
All these reviews are helpful, but the main theme starting with the beach scene was credited wrong.
In the directors commentary he credits Szymanowski-King boris, but the only thing close to that title is King Roger, which i purchased, but that music is not on the king Roger CD.
does anybody know?
Powerful Love Story
Ranks as one of Verhoeven's best films with hypnotic and electrifying performances by Monique Van De Ven and Rutger Hauer. I was completely blown away by the images in this film and its frank honesty. This is a must see film that is easily of the best love stories ever captured on celluloid.
