Last weekend, I sat down and watched ''Michiel de Ruyter'' (aka: The Admiral)
As far as a historical drama goes, I never expect much from Dutch productions in terms of cinematography and acting but this blew me right out of the water (no pun intended).
Whilst the focus isn't on the historical aspect of that time it does however capture some of the conflict between the states party and the orangists, the complicated relations with England and some of the battles at sea.
I found myself liking it quite a bit (well I'm Dutch after all
)
I think it does a good job of awakening the interest into the Dutch history around this time.
