"The Room" of Rutger Hauer

Directed by Erik Lieshout and Rutger Hauer

The following notes on "The Room" are from Rutger Hauer's website:

A man explains how he was obsessed when he was younger by a mysterious room and an extraordinary rarefied piano music that drifted through its open window during the night. Forty years later, returning to his home town after having spent most of his life abroad, in "a bunch of different places", he asks one of his friends to rent a room for him.

As chance would have it, it turns out to be the same room which attracted him when he was a young man. What drew him again to this room?

I am surprised, frankly, to see that this haunting short film has garnered only 6000+ views.  It speaks to a subject that is so fundamentally taboo for many of us that, perhaps, it makes sense that not many people have seen it.  Still, it's easily one of the most brilliant films I've seen.

Here are Hauer's video blogs on the film:
