    Nice fast movie.

    Nice fast movie in which still time is found to make the struggle of the main character with loneliness palpable. His loneliness is the result of all the people around him not communicating with him about wat matters because they think they already exactly know what he wants and needs. It was nice to be able to recognize every inch of the streets and buildings and places. As an Amsterdammer, I personally feel offended by the way the authorities are portrayed in the movie (police and 'handhaving'). Such use of force simply does not occur in such cases. I think the creator was once approached by 'handhaving' and that his ego couldn't handle that, so he still had bone to pick.
