Watch Ciske the Rat For Free
Ciske the Rat
“Ciske de Rat” belongs to the Dickensean “little man’s hard life” model and tells a deceptively simple story about a boy in modern Netherlands. Persecution, loneliness, adults’ hostility, fear, mixture of obstinacy and tenderness, and even an imprisonment. Excellent camera movement and delicate portraying of Ciske’s fragile soul put this film out of merely historical context and ensure its place in the history of great cinema.

What a beautiful movie!
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
