About This Movie

In ’t nest met de rest is this intriguing collage film that weaves together various elements from Eddy Posthuma de Boer's source material—it's not your typical narrative structure, but there’s something captivating about its disjointed yet cohesive feel. The atmosphere is pretty raw, almost documentary-like, which pulls you into the experiences being portrayed. The pacing varies, sometimes slow and contemplative, other times a bit frenetic but it all serves to heighten the film’s thematic exploration of everyday life. You can’t help but notice the practical effects that give it a unique texture, while the performances feel genuine, almost like they’re happening in real time. Definitely something different to have in your collection, if you appreciate the more experimental side of cinema.

This film is somewhat elusive on the collector's market; its formats have varied over the years, with few original prints surfacing. The scarcity combined with its experimental nature has led to a niche collector interest, especially among those who appreciate avant-garde cinema. While not widely distributed, it has a dedicated following that recognizes its distinctiveness in the landscape of 1960s film.
