On Wednesday 13th of May, Cafe Amsterdam has a film for Cultural Evening. This time we will show "The Last King Of Scotland". Starting time: 20:00 Finishing time: 22:03 The Last King of Scotland is a 2006 British drama films based on Giles Foden's novel of the same name. It was adapted by screenwriters Peter Morgan and Jeremy Brock and directed by Kevin Macdonald. The film was a co-production between companies from the United Kingdom and the United States, including Fox Searchlight Pictures and Film4. The Last King of Scotland tells the fictional story of Dr. Nicholas Garrigan (James McAvoy), a young Scottish doctor who travels to Uganda and becomes the personal physician to the dictator Idi Amin (Forest Whitaker ). The movie is based on factual events of Amin's rule. While the character of Idi Amin and the events surrounding him in the movie are mostly factual, Garrigan is a fictional character. His story is loosely based on events in the life of English-born Bob Astles. Like the novel on which it is based, the film mixes fiction with real events in Ugandan history to give an impression of Amin and Uganda under his authoritarian rule. While the basic events of Amin's life are followed, the film often departs from actual history in the details of particular events. In real life and in the book, Kay Amin was made pregnant by her lover Dr. Mbalu Mukasa. She died during a botched abortion operation by Mukasa, who subsequently committed suicide. (source and verification of these claims?) Astles believes that her body was cut up not on Amin's orders, but by Mukasa while attempting to hide it. Amin never had a son named Campbell. Despite the wording of the film's coda, three hostages died during Operation Entebbe. The body of a fourth hostage, 75-year-old Dora Bloch, who was killed by Ugandan army officers at a nearby hospital was eventually returned to Israel and buried with state honors in Jerusalem's Mount of Quietudes. |

Wednesday 29th April 2009 at 8pm Cafe Amsterdam will show the award wining film Good Bye Lenin. The film is in German with English subtitles (121 mins).
We have gone later as the evenings are longer!
In a brief prologue Alexander Kerner, recalls how proud he was along with his countrymen when the first German to enter space, Sigmund Jähn, came from the East.
East Germany, the year 1989: A young man protests against the regime. His mother watches the police arresting him and suffers a heart attack and falls into a coma. Some months later, the GDR does not exist anymore and the mother awakes. Since she has to avoid every excitement, the son tries to set up the GDR again for her in their flat. But the world has changed a lot...
This was the most successful German film since the 1950's and proved to be a worldwide hit with rave reviews and an awards list including Bafta's and Golden Globe's. The film shows much of the confusion that follows the collapse of communism in a intelligent and humoristic way. Many similarities can been drawn to Mongolia when it under went a similar change.
We have new opening times for the summer from Monday 4th May until earlier October 2009. 7am until 10pm
