An obsessed student (Ellik Bargaï) falls in love with a hooker (Amanda Ooms) together with her world made up of lies and drama.
It is an impossible relationship in which the student is toyed around with by the prostitute. The student is being dragged down into a maelstrom of drugs, porno(photo)graphy, and blackmailing.

IMDB

Theo van Gogh on Avaxhome.

The film Vals Licht is based on the book by the same name of Joost Zwagerman. It is the story of a student who meets a young prostitute and falls in love with her. When she seems to reciprocate his feelings, he attempts "to save her from her fate" and in the process he allows himself to be drawn into the web of lies that she has woven around her life. In the end the way they met becomes an insurmountable obstacle in their relationship and the lies destroy what is left.

On paper it is a strong story, including love, drugs and crime in the red light district, but the dramatisation for the screen does leave something to be desired. In particular the acting of the main characters (Amanda Ooms most of all), is unconvincing in the film's most intense moments. This is all the more serious since the director van Gogh was known mostly for his excellent work with actors.

The film contains a number of references to other films and contemporary events in the Netherlands, such as a spoof on the young actress who made headlines by appearing nude in Playboy magazine in a wheelchair, after having suffered a stroke that left her paralysed.

At some point in the movie there's a message being broadcasted in a railway station, stating: "Mr. Bargaï, please contact Mrs. Van Gogh." It's an allusion to reality. During the shooting of the movie, Van Gogh's marriage ended because his wife cheated on him with leading actor Ellik Bargaï.
