The PPPerformer

"Why do you stutter?" a son asks his father, the comedian. "It's a long story," replies the father. "I was afraid of that," says the son, "can't you make a film about it?" As a viewer, you then step into the film and see Freek de Jonge performing as a committed street artist.

Directed by Casper Verbrugge, The PPPerformer leans on a strong ensemble — Freek de Jonge, Rosita Tamara, Johnny van Elk — 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 comedy titles of 1986.
