My Take

Rolf de Heer interests me precisely because he straddles two worlds, born in the Netherlands and making his name as a director in Australia. Filmmakers who carry one culture into another often see stories from an angle natives miss, and that double vision is a quiet superpower. He works as both writer and producer, which to me signals an artist who wants total authorship of his vision rather than handing it off. The record here is thin, but I'd happily wager that beneath the sparse data sits a stubborn, singular voice. He's exactly the sort of under-discussed director I'd seek out and champion.
