This is a Dutch short film running for 14 minutes and it was made over 85 years ago, back in 1929. It was written and directed by Mannus Franken and Joris Ivens, maybe the most famous filmmaker from the Netherlands. Unfortunately, there is nothing too great about this silent black-and-white film here. All we see is impressions from a rainy day somewhere in Holland. We see streets, we see people, we see rivers, but I just could not see any real value in here that goes beyond the level of something an amateur filmmaker could come up with. I am a bit surprised this has such a high rating. There is nothing truly bad about it though, it's simply not interesting and even drags a little at this short runtime. Not recommended.
