What Open Seas Is About

Michiel van Erp's 2018 Dutch film is adapted from Philip Huff's novel. It follows three friends through their student years in an Amsterdam fraternity: parties, love affairs, and the effort to pull away from their families and from where they come from, all at once. The film is less interested in the revelry than in the silence underneath it, and above all in what one of them cannot say about himself. A sudden death within the group knocks everything loose. Minne Koole, Jonas Smulders and Chris Peters star. An unadorned film about what growing up costs a friendship.
