De Terugreis: A Glimpse into Aging and Adventure

De Terugreis is this year's Dutch entry for the prestigious Oscars. This film, directed by Jelle de Jonge, follows an elderly couple traveling to Spain, confronting the bittersweet realities of aging. The Oscar ceremony is set for March 2, 2025, making this an exciting time for Dutch cinema.

Oscar Selection Process

  • The Netherlands' film was submitted for the 'International Feature Film' category.
  • A selection will be made on December 17 to determine if De Terugreis makes it to the shortlist.

Acclaimed cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema, who won an Oscar for his work on Oppenheimer last year, serves as an inspiration for aspiring filmmakers.

Significance of the Award

The 'Best International Featured Film' category recognizes outstanding films not produced in the U.S. and predominantly in a language other than English. Winning this award is a notable achievement that brings pride to the entire nation, though the physical Oscar may not grace every home in Holland.

Historically, the Netherlands has won this award three times with films like The Assault, The Line of Antonia, and Character.
