Michael Verhoeven
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Verhoeven (July 13, 1938 in Berlin) is a German film director.
Verhoeven is the son of German film director, Paul Verhoeven (not to be confused with the Dutch Paul Verhoeven). He married actress Senta Berger in 1966. Together, the couple formed a production company to make films. The anti-Vietnam war film, O.K. was entered into the Berlin Film Festival, but a scandal forced a collapse of the festival without the awarding of any prizes.
In 1982, Verhoeven released Die weiße Rose (The White Rose), which, with the Best Foreign film nomination of Das schreckliche Mädchen (The Nasty Girl) in 1990, cemented his reputation as an important political contributor to German film.
