Rutger Hauer: Five of the ‘Blade Runner’ Star’s Essential Performances

By the late ‘80s, when this Ermanno Olmi masterpiece won the much-deserved Golden Lion Award for best film in Venice, the American arthouse cinema world had receded so far into the past that this much-heralded but virtually unseen gem never even received a theatrical release in the U.S. Check out Rotten Tomatoes: There are no reviews for Olmi’s film and no assessments of Hauer’s incredible titular performance as “Andreas,” a “clochard” or homeless drunk living rough on the streets of Paris.

When a surprise benefactor gifts him with enough money to wash up, shave, have a meal and begin to engage in a life of hope, Hauer’s rise and fall is a masterclass in great acting. Which, in the hands of naturalistic maestro Olmi, means decidedly lower-case “a” acting as subtle and restrained as it gets.

RIP 😢 Welterusten x

I fell in love with Rutger Bauer when he advertised Guinness. The most gorgeous of men & very sexy. R I P

NO!

John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
