A wonderful movie nobody is talking about.


Couple years ago, I've seen a small part of this on tv, and found the after-hours/night mood very captivating, and somewhat calming.
So, about a year ago, I bought the dvd.

Finally, I gave it a shot. What a great surprise this is. While certainly not for everyone, it comes as a surprise that no one is discussing it, here!

A very melancholic, moody tragicomedy, that feels very honest. The main character is a lot like David Thewlis in Mike Leigh's "Naked", wich came out ten years later.

If you are into moody, well-acted slow dramas with a cynical edge to them, certainly check this out.

You don't have to be a Belgian to apreciate it, I'm not.
