Wat zien ik

Verhoeven's first feature is unmistakably his: outrageous, satiric, erotic, and gleefully unrespectable. It's a chaotic comic portrait of two enterprising prostitutes (Ronnie Bierman and Sylvia de Leur) looking for love in between rendezvous with clients. (Their specialty: role-playing everything from chickens to corpses for their kinky customers.) A goofy, groovy tour through the red light district of swinging '70s Amsterdam, Business Is Business may be the most high-spirited, relatively untroubled film of Verhoeven's career thus far, but it's also the first iteration of one of his key themes: we do what we must to survive.
