The movie "Amsterdam" is beautifully written and directed by David O. Russell, and often reminded me of Wes Anderson's movie style. The plot however is weak and without much depth but the description of each character is very sharp.
The movie has as its backdrop the pact of friendship between three friends who meet between the events of the first and second World wars. They are forced to meet years later to unravel a conspiracy against the American Constitution.
Mixing some real facts with fictitious ones, Russell uses black comedy to reinforce the absurdity of the events. In some scenes, it seems that he was literary inspired by the real events of January 6th in Washington and January 8th in Brasilia, Brazil.
Technically the film is perfect, especially the beautiful photography, art design and costume design.
