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
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]
