Paul Verhoeven

Director

Paul Verhoeven (born 1938) is a Dutch film director known for international films including Robocop, Starship Troopers, Elle and Benedetta.

DeBaser reviews emphasise Verhoeven's emphatic, often provocative style, recurring attention to sex and violence, satirical critique of society, and notable collaborations with actors praised in individual reviews (Peter Weller, Isabelle Huppert, Virginie Efira).

DeBaser's reviews present Paul Verhoeven as a director of emphatic, often grotesque cinema. His science-fiction/action work (Robocop, Starship Troopers) is praised for satire and spectacle. Dramatic films like Elle receive strong acting and thematic praise. More recent work (Benedetta) divides reviewers over explicitness and excess.

For:film fans, sci‑fi and thriller audiences, critics

 For me, a certainty, just as I had yet another confirmation after watching the film that the so-called patata cannot disappoint...
