Her Dutch-language feature LOVE LIFE, based on the best-selling novel by Ray Kluun, gained Carice further critical acclaim for her performance as ‘Carmen’, a mother whose world falls apart as she deals with both her cancer diagnosis and serial adulterer husband. The award-winning film broke box office records in the country. She attracted international attention with her lead role in Paul Verhoeven's acclaimed wartime thriller BLACK BOOK - the most commercially successful Dutch film to date. The BAFTA nominated film centres on ‘Rachel Stein’, played by Van Houten, a Jewish singer who infiltrates the Gestapo headquarters for the Dutch resistance in the Nazi occupied Netherlands during World War II.

Watch for “ELLE” in the US later this year and “Brimstone” next year. HULLFISH: You and I have known each other for many, many years, but tell us some the films you’ve worked on and how you got into film editing. TER BURG: When I was around 20 years old I decided I wanted to be a film editor. I took this video course while I was studying Theatre, Film and Television Studies in University and they told me about video https://www.provideocoalition.com/art-cut-job-ter-burg-ace-nce/ editing. Before that I had been doing music editing (on quarter inch tape) and DJ-ing and I had created radio plays as a teenager. I acted in school plays in high school and I really liked that. And then I saw editing, it was a revelation to me because it combined everything I love: acting and sound and picture, all together. So I managed to get into film school in Amsterdam, where I majored in film editing. Some friends of mine had set up an editing facility in Amsterdam (Phanta Vision), and after I had graduated they offered me a job as an editor on a series of television documentaries for a large public broadcaster. I worked there for a couple of years, and loved doing documentaries. In the meantime, a buddy of mine from film school, Martin Koolhoven (director of “WINTER IN WARTIME” and “BRIMSTONE”) got a few chances to direct: some music videos, a single play, a television feature, and then two theatrical features, and he was able to bring me on board to cut those.

  • VK Interview Job Brimstone
    https://www.volkskrant.nl/cultuur-media/van-muf-montagehok-naar-wereldpremieres-en-weer-terug~b17ed3f4/ De grootste drukte is nu even achter de rug. De afgelopen tweeënhalf jaar zette editor Job ter Burg (44) drie grote speelfilms in elkaar. Volledige speelduur: 385 minuten. De kortste was met 96 minuten Schneider vs. Bax van Alex van Warmerdam. De langste is Martin Koolhovens Brimstone, het epische werkstuk van 148 minuten dat volgende week zijn Nederlandse première beleeft. En tussendoor deed hij Paul Verhoevens arthousehit Elle; deze productie van 130 minuten is komende zondag in de race voor twee deftige Golden Globes. Wat je noemt een flinke productie. Interessant ook, dat filmers van zulk divers pluimage allemaal bij Job ter Burg uitkomen. Dat zegt iets over zijn statuur, hij is kort gezegd de topeditor van Nederland, en binnenkort vast ook ver daarbuiten. advertentie 'Het was wel even doorbuffelen, ja', zegt Ter Burg in het restaurant van filmmuseum Eye in Amsterdam. 'Overlappende projecten. Dan was ik al aan de volgende film begonnen, maar moest terug naar de eerdere voor de eindmix. Luxe, dat was het ook. Drie regisseurs, drie bijzondere projecten, en allemaal totaal anders. Cineasten met een verschillend temperament bovendien.' https://www.volkskrant.nl/cultuur-media/van-muf-montagehok-naar-wereldpremieres-en-weer-terug~b17ed3f4/ Zou hij hun uiteenlopende stijlen kort kunnen typeren? 'Bij Alex begint het er al mee welke acteurs hij gebruikt. Hij heeft zo zijn eigen stal. Zijn films neigen naar een herkenbare milde stilering van de Nederlandse werkelijkheid. Net als Paul Verhoeven is Alex goed in de zogeheten mise-en-scène: de choreografie van de acteurs en hoe zij zich verhouden tot het camerastandpunt en de objecten.
