About Punk Lawyer
A young Amsterdam lawyer seems to be doing well, but occasionally he is overwhelmed by an unstoppable need for booze. During one of his delirious episodes, he witnesses the death of a squatter at a police station. Worried about his career, he hesitates to speak out.
Directed by Gerrit van Elst, Punk Lawyer leans on a strong ensemble — Pierre Bokma, Margo Dames, Peter Oosthoek — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1996.
