Paul Verhoeven

Paul Verhoeven (Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 1938) graduated in physics and mathematics. He then enrolled in the navy, where he began to shoot military documentaries. He worked with the television and then made the popular medieval television series, Floris (1969). His first films, which also introduced the actor Rutger Hauer, aroused a certain interest in Europe because of their erotic power. After the success of The Fourth Man he moved to the United States, where his films include RoboCop, Total Recall, Basic Instinct and Hollow Man. Back in Europe, he participated in competition at Venice Film Festival with Black Book.
