Alex van Warmerdam may be the best—but is definitely the most underrated—director of contemporary Dutch cinema. From frame one, Nr. 10 proves him a master of downplayed confusion. The deceptively conventional story about a theater troupe who is sabotaged by its own (hurt) feelings while rehearsing its new play is jeopardized by strange contaminants—characters, sentences, words that just don’t make any sense. Only when our eyes are redirected from the stage to life and from life to something else entirely do we begin to understand how unforgettable this film is. A singular masterpiece.
