Obsessions

The obscure film OBSESSIONS (aka A HOLE IN THE WALL) was directed by dutch artsploitation auteur Pim de la Parra and co-produced by long- time collaborator Wim Verstrappen (BLUE MOVIE). This gritty, psychedelic Hitchcockian mystery, which is notable for being the first Dutch film shot in English-language, starts in a savagely brutal fashion. When a bloody painting of Vincent van Gogh falls from a wall and exposes a makeshift peephole, student protagonist Nils Janssen (played by the film's German co-producer Dieter Geissler) becomes an unwitting witness to a gruesome sex crime next door.
