Van de Schoonheid en de Troost(2000)

Of Beauty and Consolation is a Dutch documentary series in which host Wim Kayzer poses a deceptively simple question to a rotating cast of guests: What makes life worth living? Each episode features conversations with artists, scientists, writers, philosophers, and musicians who grapple with this fundamental inquiry from their own perspectives. Rather than offering easy answers, the series explores how creative and intellectual figures find meaning, purpose, and solace in their work and ideas. Kayzer's thoughtful approach creates space for genuine dialogue, allowing guests to reflect on beauty, mortality, and the human condition. The result is a meditative exploration of what sustains us through life's complexities.
