De Witte van Sichem

De Witte van Sichem (1980)

The second movie version, now in color, of Flemish (heimat-)author Ernest Claes' classical novel, titled after the nickname (Dutch 'the White', referring to a blond male) of the main character. The smart but naughty farmhands son's eternal mischief, pranks and disobedience drive his elders (especially teachers, family and father's grumpy employer, a rich farmer, but also neighbors and even the kind curate whose liturgical server he is) and classmates to despair in a time when a boy's punishment was still inevitable, swift and often severe; thus when his mother catches him skinny dipping she takes all his clothes home, forcing him to a long walk of shame, dreading dad's wrath all the way. This version also stresses the story's social and Flamingant aspects.

  • 원작: De Witte

Whitey is a 1980 Belgian historical drama film by Robbe De Hert released in 1980. The film is an adaptation of Ernest Claes' novel De Witte. It is the second adaptation of the book. The other film was released in 1934 as De Witte. The title Whitey refers to the nickname of the main character: Louis Verheyden, a naughty blond boy of eleven years old.

Production

While creating Whitey De Hert was influenced by Belgian writer Louis Paul Boon, who recommended that the director approach the source material differently than the 1934 film. He suggested that the movie take a more socially critical view of the source material and show the titular character as someone wishing to escape his surroundings, rather than adopt the farcical tone of the first adaptation.
