The Tars or De Jantjes is a 1934 Dutch comedy film drama directed by Jaap Speyer. The film was a remake of the 1922 film of the same name, which itself was based on a 1920-play by Louis Davids and Margie Morris.
Reception and influence[edit]
The film was the second Dutch sound film to be released after the 1934 film Willem van Oranje, released just one month earlier. The film became a big commercial succes and popularised the genre of Jordaanfilms, a Dutch film-genre popular in 1930s. Jordaanfilms followed working class protagonists in the impoverished Jordaan-area of Amsterdam who speak and sing in local dialect. The film also led to a romanticized and idolised version of the Jordaan. This imaged existed in Dutch popular culture for most of the 20th century.[1]
