The Dress


Originally entitled De Jurk from the Dutch. This is the tale of a dress, and the women who own it. The dress is jinxed, bringing all sorts of disasters to the unfortunate women. Apparently one of the women in the film really did not need the dress since she spends most of her time in the nude. The villian in the piece is the train conducter, played by the director, who is driven to various acts of violence and lust when he sees the dress.

Dutch with English subtitles.

103 minutes.

Not currently showing on the local cinema circuit.
