Yesterday (December 1, 2009) Ramses Shaffy died. We lost a great singing who touched our hearts. This triggered me to review this documentary which is so intense. Thanks to this emotional documentary we will remember Ramses.

This documentary has been transmitted on Dutch television some years ago and -of course- has been retransmitted these days.

Ramses was very ill but despite his illness he managed to be on stage a couple of days before he died in his sleep.

The documentary described Ramses' life from the early sixties. He had a remarkable lifestyle which resulted in serious damage to his health. The last couple of years he found some peace in the elderly's house but he stayed active in numerous life performances.

Dutch cinema often combines understated realism with offbeat humor, tackling moral ambiguity and social change. It balances intimate storytelling with bold, sometimes provocative, visual styles. Dutch films combine art-house sensibility with grounded storytelling, reflecting the country's open, yet quietly complex culture.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
