Through private, never-before-seen footage and candid interviews with family, friends, and colleagues, his goddaughter Sanna Fabery de Jonge uncovers his intimate world in the revealing, acclaimed documentary,<em> Like Tears in Rain<\/em>. The intriguing 80-minute film makes its exclusive debut in the U.S. on the Viaplay streaming service on Thursday, March 13, 2025.

In <em>Like Tears in Rain<\/em>, de Jonge delves into Hauer&#8217;s personal archive to reveal the person behind the Golden Globe-winning actor. Hauer documented his entire life on film, resulting in countless videos shot in Friesland, on his boat, and in the camper, as well as behind-the-scenes on movie sets, where we witness his unconditional love for his wife Ineke and his friends. <em>Like Tears in Rain<\/em> also focuses on Hauer&#8217;s creative process in front of and behind the camera, with a look at professional highlights.<\/p><div id=\"morty-3974365535\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Through conversations with his wife, friends, and colleagues including Whoopi Goldberg, Paul Verhoeven, Vincent D&#8217;Onofrio, Miranda Richardson, Robert Rodriguez, and Mickey Rourke, we see the person behind Rutger Hauer&#8217;s charismatic yet elusive character.
