What's Left?

About This Movie

What's Left? is an intriguing documentary that captures the somber decline of the political left in the Netherlands over a sprawling two-decade period of neoliberal governance. Directed by the elusive Johan Fretz, it combines a personal narrative with historical analysis, which lends it an intimate yet urgent feel. The pacing is contemplative, inviting viewers to reflect rather than just observe. Fretz’s exploration of the Labour Party’s fading ideals is both poignant and sobering, painting a picture of lost hope and lingering memories. The film doesn’t rely on flashy visuals; instead, it offers raw, unfiltered interviews and personal stories that ground its themes. It’s clearly a labor of love, a document of political regret and longing.
