Three Days of Fish

About This Movie

Three Days of Fish is this delicate mix of comedy and drama that really captures that bittersweet feeling of returning home. Gerrie, who seems to enjoy the sun in Portugal, gets caught up in the dreary yet oddly charming Netherlands where he was born. It’s not just a visit; it’s almost like a ritual, right? He runs his errands, meets his doctor, and shares the experience with his son, Dick, who adds a layer of eccentricity and warmth. The pacing feels natural, like life unfolding, with an atmosphere that’s both mundane and profound. The performances are genuine, particularly the father-son dynamic, which is relatable in its awkwardness and humor. There's an authenticity to the practical effects and settings that ground the film beautifully.

Focus on character dynamics. · Look for subtle humor. · Pay attention to the setting's influence.
