Like Tears in Rain Looks Phenomenal

Rutger Hauer has left a truly remarkable legacy in the world of cinema. And I am delighted that he will be remembered in this unique and beautiful way.

If you are unfamiliar with the name Rutger Hauer, then maybe you will know him from his iconic role in Blade Runner. Or many of his performances in such projects as Escape from Sobibor, Batman Begins, and Sin City. He was truly an actors, actor. And has been missed ever since his passing in 2019.

He was a very humble and private man and what we did not know is that Hauer documented his entire life on film, resulting in countless videos shot in Friesland, on his boat and in his campervan, as well as behind-the-scenes on movie sets, where we witness his unconditional love for his wife Ineke and his friends. Through conversations with his family, friends and collaborators including Whoopi Goldberg, Paul Verhoeven, Vincent D’Onofrio, Miranda Richardson, Robert Rodriguez, Mickey Rourke and Anton Corbijn, we see the person behind Rutger Hauer’s charismatic yet elusive character.

His God Daughter Sanna Fabery de Jonge has used all this and more to tell a wonderful story about a beautiful soul.
