Coming Wednesday 14 March 2012 at 7:30 pm we will show in Cafe Amsterdam the film "War Horse". This is a recent (the film premiered in the USA just before last Christmas) epic war film directed and co-produced bySteven Spielberg and starring Jeremy Irvine, Emily Watson and Eddie Marsan. The film is an adoption of the novel "War Horse", by British author Michael Morpurgo.
Storyline: Set against rural England and France during the First World War, the film begins with the friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, who tames and trains him. When they are parted, the film follows the journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he meets: British cavalry, German soldiers and a French farmer and his granddaughter. The story reaches his emotional climax in the heart of so-called No Man's Land.
"War Horse" was one of the ten films nominated as best film of the year with the last Oscar's. The film got good reviews as a technically superb, nostalgic and emotional anti war film. Because "War Horse" is over two hours long, we will start Wednesday like last week at 7:30pm. Please come on time. More information about the film: As always admission is free. |

Dear all,
This Wednesday we have a HALLOWEEN SPECIAL in Cafe Amsterdam.
American Radigan Neuhalfen, regular visitor of our cafe and author of the novel "The Steppe", will read H.P Lovecraft Horror Stories.
Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) is the 20th century master of horror, fantasy and science fiction and the acknowledged heir to Edgar Allan Poe. With his stories, which blended gothic horror with science fiction, Lovecraft presented a view of the universe as something vast, where forces operate that are indifferent towards humanity, a view that has come to be known as "cosmic horror".
Everybody welcome Wednesday October 28 at 8PM in Cafe Amsterdam for a very special and thrilling evening.
