Memory Dealers plot

The near future. When the memories of the residents of The City are reset due to the actions of shrewd businessmen and the forces of an entity, Teo and her friends are able to escape and flee. As mayor, Teo feels responsible for the well-being of the residents. They arm themselves with home-brewed psychedelics to free people from their memoryless state, but they themselves struggle with the downside of their hedonistic existence. When Teo's urge to prove himself goes too far, the plan threatens to fail.

What a failure. Worst of the Koolhoven presents films. The story is confused, the acting is poor. In terms of light and style it is quite nice, but there is so little substance in this film.

I don't understand why Koolhoven thought this was a great idea, but I also have some ideas for him. Speaking Dutch in English was also very annoying. Maybe in the Amsterdam bubble this seems very cool, but in the real world it is too nice and the film does not deliver.

What was this? Unclearly told, poorly acted (or no, very poorly acted without genuine emotion and especially without credibility), visually kitschy and ugly and also in terms of visuals and editing, this thing looks like a high school graduation project. It doesn't really feel right anywhere. Bad and amateurish on every level. 0.5*.

Memory Dealers definitely has an eye for color and experiment, but those are about the only bright spots. It completely escapes me why a name like Martin Koolhoven did not intervene during this production, because director Mila van der Linden makes a complete mess of it. Cast members who seem to have been chosen for looks rather than acting, a poor narrative structure and a very backward interaction between humor and science fiction quickly turn this relatively short film into a miserably long one. A few tricks in the first minutes reveal that Gaspar Noé may have been a source of inspiration, but the verbal interruptions quickly become annoying and the alternation between slow-motion and normal speed is almost amateurish. The idiotic dialogues (and acting) also ensure that you as a viewer become so irritated that a so-called film trip is no longer possible. I have often watched this production in amazement, over which the director seems to have had absolutely no control. Perhaps for Van der Linden it was more of an outing with friends than a serious project, but that is of course only an assumption. In any case, extremely miserable, unprofessional and annoying. I also wondered whether the makers used too few or too many drugs.
