De Nieuwe Wildernis plot

"Nature reborn 20 miles from Amsterdam"

Close to Amsterdam, in one of the world's most densely populated countries, on a piece of land that was still under water forty years ago, a nature reserve of international allure has developed. A unique spectacle takes place in the Oostvaardersplassen: nature determines the rhythm here. The result is an untouched piece of wilderness in the reclaimed Flevopolder that is a model for Dutch delta nature. De Nieuwe Wildernis aims to expose the soul of this thriving, water-rich delta.

Beautiful images in the style of the BBC documentaries. However, you immediately see the difference, because De Nieuwe Wildernis does not match the BBC version in terms of quality. The Dutch landscape doesn't have much to offer and at some point you've had your fair share of wild horses, foxes, fish and birds. Also, the images are all a bit incoherent at times. But the attempt is admirable and definitely worth watching.

Strong nature documentary from Dutch soil. One species appealed to me more than the other, but as a whole De Nieuwe Wildernis gave a very nice glimpse into a special piece of Dutch nature. I always find it very surprising how they manage to shoot the beautiful images of nature. The explanations of the interesting experiences of the various animals were very clear and often had their added value. Also very beautiful was the contrast between the sometimes quite rosy-looking family life of some animals on the one hand and the harsh laws of nature on the other. In any case, the way in which the animal kingdom occupies itself during a year came out very nicely, with which this documentary gives a very nice picture of life on the Oostvaardersplassen.

"The silence of nature has many sounds". De Nieuwe Wildernis begins with this quote from the Dutch poet Henriëtte Roland Holst. In the Netherlands nowadays you can always hear the hum of cars on the highway. For silence you have to be in a country like England. There you will also find real darkness. High-voltage pylons can also be seen everywhere here.

Mediocre nature film. Some scenes were very beautiful, such as the sneaking fox or the cabbage white that crawls out of its cocoon and unfolds its wings. The images are razor sharp. I think they used the sound of a squeaking puppy for the song of the kingfisher because my dog, who had just been sleeping, woke up with a start and looked at the television completely bewildered.

That with those shit flies (When the shit fly is taken by the female... ) didn't have to be like that for me. I was just eating a sandwich and I got a little nauseous.

Give me Bert Haanstra's nature documentaries.
