Oesters van Nam Kee plot

The film tells the story of the love story that the young 18-year-old grammar school student Berry (Egbert-Jan Weeber) experiences with the slightly older Thera (Katja Schuurman). Berry leads a double life; he carefully hides from his slightly criminal friends from Amsterdam-West that he actually comes from the only villa street in this district; he only completely confides in Thera. When their love, consumed with oysters at Nam Kee restaurant, reaches a peak, she suddenly disappears from Berry's life.

This is a very mediocre film, despite the beautiful formations of Katja Schuurman.

Schuurman may have beautiful formations, but as an actress she is only mediocre and not very convincing. The same may be said of co-star Weeber, who can act well in his own right, but hardly comes out in this film. The relationship between the two people does not seem credible to me and is not really well developed. So there is little to enjoy in terms of content.

Visually, however, the film has very little to offer. The soundtrack is still nice, but from a technical point of view there are few beautifully shot pictures in the film. The sex scenes are actually the most exciting to watch.

Overall a bad movie with a pretty bad story and lousy acting.

1,5*

Still a pretty decent Dutch film. It all seems to start as a real crime film, but in the end we mostly get what we can expect, a typical Dutch (book) film(ing). Egbert Jan Weeber plays a nice role as a testostron screaming teenager who does nothing with his friends but kicks a racket. His life changes when he falls in love with the even older stripper Thera, who was still well portrayed by Schuurman when she was still attractive. It goes back to normal, first a nice romance, and of course sex, and eventually everything gets worse by the moment. The plot is still pretty good though.

And yes, as said: the theme of crime still comes into play here and there.

Nice movie. I remember the Telefilm Eigenheimers from Pollo de Piemeltel.

3.5*

So, what a horror of a movie this is. First of all, the directing with that shaking camera and annoyingly busy unnecessary editing. Furthermore, very ugly shot in kitschy colors and moderate lighting. Music is nothing, play is even more distressing if necessary and it never gets exciting. Beyond that, the whole point of the story is missing me. 0.5*.
