THE BOOK OF MIKEY    2015
Directed by Bruno Ramos
65 minutes
In English/Dutch with English subtitles

Brazilian director Bruno Ramos is now living in Holland, and while he has been here he created this beautiful satire that combines the film noir genre with acute observations on the Dutch situation. It's so important that filmmaking starts to flourish here in the Netherlands, and this flick is a great example of what is possible. Made with passion on a zero budget, with an international cast and crew where everybody just chipping in, the film is funny, riveting and damn stylish.

When Mikey's father is on his deathbed in England, he tells his son the secret behind his mother's demise. It seems that things were very different than what he had been told. Now there is a mystery that needs to be solved, and his father tells Mikey to go to Amsterdam to search for the answers. The director has described this as a "black-comedy comic-book" movie, and it certainly has that visual flare.... along with a punchy sense of humor.
