Bastille (1984)

Born in Amsterdam in 1943, Paul, a Jewish man, attempts to locate his twin brother (or perhaps his alter ego), who was abducted forty years ago and sent to a Nazi concentration camp. As he searches, he becomes increasingly immersed in the story of his life, as well as in an analysis of post-war Jewish identity.

Interesting facts

Bastille is a Dutch film by Rudolf van den Berg with Derek de Lint and Evelyne Dress in the leading role.

Background

Bastille was Rudolph van den Berg's first major motion picture. With help from director George Sluizer as his producer, they made the film with a budget of only 330,000 euro. The theme of the movie, a Jewish man living unknowingly during the Second World War, struggling with his Jewish identity and the trauma of the Holocaust, was a theme close to van den Berg's own life.
