Dutch Film night

In collaboration with the Dutch Association in Malaysia (Nederlandse Vereniging Maleisie), Pisco Bar proudly screens historical Dutch biopic, Admiral (Michiel de Ruyter).

Admiral is a 2015 drama/action film about the republic of The Netherlands. When the young republic of The Netherlands is attacked and the country itself is on the brink of civil war, only Michiel de Ruyter can lead the county's strongest weapon, the Dutch fleet.

The film devotes plenty screen time to the political intrigues of the era, as well as battle sequences.

It depicts the struggles between the Orangists, who favor monarchical rule and who wish to see Prince William (Egbert Jan Weeber) in power, and the Republicans, who have elected Johan de Witt (Barry Atmsa) as their prime minister. Scheming on behalf of the prime minister is England's King Charles II, at least when he's not indulging his considerable lecherous appetite.

When Admiral Maarten Tromp (Hauer), the leader of the Dutch fleet, is killed in battle, de Witt recruits the reluctant de Ruyter (Frank Lammers) to assume command. The burly, laconic de Ruyter has little interest in politics, but he patriotically agrees to serve his country in its wars against England, France and Germany.
