Sunday October 2nd 2016, Movie night: Amsterdamned by Dick Maas, 1988, 105 minutes, in Dutch with English subtitles. Door opens at 8pm, film begins at 9pm. Free admission.
Dick Maas is mainly known for his films and series about the Flodder family; known to all who were raised here. This film features many of the original Flodder cast and shares with it Maas’s typical fast paced action scenes, too-easy sense of humor and terrible puns. Amsterdamned shows the chase of a killer who strikes the unexpecting from the depths of the Amsterdam canals, only to retreat into his lair in the no-go areas of late 80’s Amsterdam.
A womanizing and rebellious police investigator -played by Huub Stapel- is asked to take care of the murder wave that is starting to hurt Amsterdam’s reputation and has become a major headache for the city’s bureaucracy.
Amsterdamned provides lots of footage of 1980’s Amsterdam and, for a ‘horror film’, the best laugh you’ll find.
Film night at Joe’s Garage, cozy cinema! Doors open at 8pm, film begins at 9pm, free entrance. You want to play a movie, let us know: joe [at] squat [dot] net
