Amsterdam

USA 2022 | 134 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

Three WWI veterans spend the 1920s in Amsterdam. They meet again in the next decade in the US, as plot twists lead them to track down a conspiracy to overthrow President Roosevelt. As in all of David O. Russell's filmography, the plot is just a flimsy hanger on which he hangs what interests him: eccentric characters, meandering stories, aesthetic brilliance. Russell's films are always a melting pot of styles and genres, and here too, the film ranges from the detective to the romantic, and connects the historical past with contemporary political reality.
