De ondergang van de Onan

About This Movie

So, 'De ondergang van de Onan' is quite the oddball TV movie from '76. The whole premise, focusing on a stage show about a sinking cruise ship, feels uniquely offbeat and a bit surreal. You’ve got this interesting ensemble cast with folks like Fred Haché and Barend Servet, bringing a sort of quirky charm to their roles. The pacing is a bit slow, but it manages to build a certain tension as the plot unfolds. The practical effects are nothing groundbreaking, but they add character to the production. It’s that kind of mix of humor and drama which gives it a distinct flavor, and frankly, you don’t often see something that attempts this blend in such a niche way.

As a collector, you'll find that 'De ondergang van de Onan' has a certain rarity, often eluding mainstream cataloging. The formats it appears on are quite limited, which spikes interest among those who appreciate obscure TV films from the '70s. It's not easy to come by, and the lack of widespread recognition makes it a gem for those who love digging into niche cinema. Keep an eye out for any screenings or collectors who might have a copy; it’s definitely one of those films that doesn’t pop up often.
