The Columnist

The Columnist (2019)

De Kuthoer

Una celebre editorialista, rispettata e temuta per la sua penna affilata, diventa il bersaglio quotidiano di una valanga di insulti anonimi, minacce e messaggi d’odio. Commenti che non colpiscono solo le sue idee, ma la sua identità più profonda. Quando le parole iniziano a pesare più dei fatti e l’umiliazione si trasforma in ossessione, la donna decide di reagire. Non con un articolo, ma con un piano. Un piano che trasforma l’odio digitale in una spirale di violenza silenziosa, precisa, irreversibile.

Production

Director Ivo van Aart came up with the idea for the film alongside writer Daan Windhorst and the two immediately thought of the word "Kuthoer", "a term of abuse that you often see on social media, where there are many threats and abuses." They chose to include "De" in order to signify that it was about a single person. The two also noted that they hoped the film would be a wakeup call about online bullying and abuse.

Plans to film The Columnist were announced in 2019. Katja Herbers was brought on to play the central character of Femke Boot, a choice that van Aart states was influenced by her role in the second season of Westworld. Filming was slated to take place in early 2020.
