In Holland There is a House. The Representation of Polish Immigrants in Contemporary Dutch Film

Abstracts

EN

This article looks into the representation of Polish immigrants in contempo-rary Dutch film, with a particular focus on the prominent role of domestic set-tings and familial dysfunctions in the pictures involved. As the analysis reveals, many of the films under discussion bring into view troubled Dutch protago-nists (especially men) who suffer from degradation in the familial and social sphere. The Polish characters in turn tend to be instrumentalized as (potential) agents of change (or rather “restoration”), taking up traditional familial and domestic roles that are no longer fulfilled by Dutch characters.
