The Fury is a subtle mystery that intensifies over time, skillfully unfolding through the eyes of a young boy and continuing into manhood. Albert’s “Aunt” Tiny is a beautiful, provocative young woman to whom men are drawn. Although Albert idolizes her, we soon realize that although she seems frivolous and playful, she is more like a wounded bird than the dashing young woman she appears. As we follow Albert’s narrative, with clever time jumps through whole years during which everyone is convincingly transformed, Tiny’s buried rage slowly surfaces. It takes Albert half a lifetime to discover the complexity of Tiny’s existence, and secrets alluded to remain hidden until the last moment. Authentically set in the south of the Netherlands during the fifties and sixties, The Fury exposes the hypocrisy in a provincial family: by the time Tiny’s story comes to light, the family are all old and their lives have passed without anyone acknowledging Tiny’s tragedy. – Monique Ray
