The Nobel Prize Winner

Running time: 92 mins

The name on the book has a story all its own.

Writer/Director Timo Veltkamp?s dark and labyrinthine exploration of the relationship between genius and recognition, The Nobel Prize Winner follows the final days of a failed short-story writer the world thinks is already dead, and the chaos that ensues when a celebrated novelist plagiarizes his magnum opus. As the real writer drifts through his living death from temptation to temptation, the plagiarist faces the impossibility of sharing the world with the man who actually created the masterpiece that everyone says is his best work. Woven into this web of lies and betrayal are pregnant nymphets crooked private investigators as well as scholars and critics, all of whom learn a lesson about the price of ambition.

Capturing modern-day Amsterdam in smoldering black and white, from the offices of literary publishers to the garrets of exotic dancers, The Nobel Prize Winner puts its finger on the pulse of contemporary society?s obsession with fame and pleasure without flinching.
