A list of addresses. Four hours of a list of addresses, nothing more.
I can't believe this film even got made. It's like a weird elementary school book report assignment.
It starts with a woman stating an address, telling you in two sentences what happened there, and then stating another address. For FOUR hours.
No interviews. No maps of the city so you can even see how these addresses relate to each other. No historic footage. Nothing. Half the time she tells the address, says what happened, then says "demolished." At which point you realize you're not even seeing the address she's talking about.
If you like memorizing disconnected sound bytes with unrelated montages of Amsterdam in 2020, this film is for you. I can't believe I paid money for this. In fact, I'm going back to Amazon to try to get a refund. It's that bad.
