Dutch film experienced a significant boom in the 1970s, often referred to as a "Golden Age" of Dutch cinema. During this period, directors like Paul Verhoeven gained international fame with movies such as Turkish Delight (1973) and Soldier of Orange (1977). These films were known for their raw energy, frank depiction of sexuality, and exploration of the Dutch experience during World War II, a theme that remains poignant in the national consciousness.
