George Sluizer

A master of suspenseful cinema, George Sluizer was born in Paris, France, in 1932 and began his directorial career in the mid-1960s. Known for his work in drama and thriller genres, Sluizer's most famous films include "The Vanishing" (1988), which won the Golden Calf at the Netherlands Film Festival, and "Dark Blood", a film infamously unfinished due to the sudden death of its lead actor, River Phoenix. Sluizer's authorial style is characterized by a tense, psychological atmosphere and a knack for exploring the depths of human fears.

From the heart, Sluizer was a director who could masterfully turn the ordinary into the extraordinary, always leaving audiences on the edge of their seats.
