''Turkish Delight'' (''Turks Fruit'' in the original Dutch title of the novel and film) is a 1973 film directed by Creator/PaulVerhoeven, based on the similarly-titled novel by Dutch author Jan Wolkers. The story is a cross between an EroticFilm and a tragicomic RomanticComedy. The film is notorious for featuring a lot of sex and nudity, just like in the novel. It became an international box office success and it was Verhoeven's breakthrough film that launched his career in the Netherlands and those of lead actors Creator/RutgerHauer and Monique van de Ven.

On the surface ''Turkish Delight'' appears to be nothing more than an EroticFilm, but there's in fact a strong and tragic love story going on. Graphic artist and {{sculptor|s}} Eric (Rutger Hauer) falls in love with the young and naïve Olga (Monique van de Ven) with whom he has several sex scenes. They have a close mental and physical connection and eventually marry. Yet Eric is a stubborn and sometimes impulsive and aggressive man who doesn't really get along with Olga's snobbish mother, who disapproves of Eric's poverty.

* HowWeGotHere: The film opens with Eric, nude from the waist down, lying sprawled on his bed in his messy, filthy sculpture studio. After a sequence in which he indulges in first violent, then sexual fantasies, then cleans up his studio and has a series of animalistic sexual encounters with random women, we flash back two years to see how his relationship with Olga led to the literal and figurative mess in which we found him at the beginning of the film.
