Amstel

About This Movie

So, 'Amstel' is this quirky little gem from 2012. It’s got that offbeat vibe, blending comedy, drama, and romance in a way that feels both fresh and familiar. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, which kinda mirrors Maarten's own drunken escapades. The performances are genuine, with a certain rawness that makes you root for him despite his less-than-charming state. The film captures that hazy, chaotic feeling of a night out, and you can almost taste the Amsterdam air. Plus, the practical effects, like the staggered camera angles during his tipsy moments, add a nice touch. It’s one of those films that reflects on love and the messiness of life, making it memorable in its own right.
