Woody Allen vs. Sex Life of the Belgians

I think most of Woody Allen's movies have some biographical stuff in them. But I am glad to see someone else making a kind of satirical, truthful movie about sex and romance (even if it was a long time ago now, so are most of Allen's movies). I saw this movie 2 or 3 times in 2001, and never could remember the entire name, so thanks to IMDB for helping me out! As it turns out, I am watching Woody Allen's Love and Death right now on IFCTV and that is what made me decide to find out the name of the Sex Life film!

Yes, but it is not a film by Woody Allen. The director is Jan Bucquoy and the script editor Francis De Smet. Camping Cosmos is the second part of the trilogy of "The Sexual Life of the Belgians". It is true that the movie has much in common with Woody Allen and even Fassbinder but it has more something of a French film of the sixties. The idea of a semi-autobiographical movie
is mixed up with scenes of a rather particular taste, like the partouze scene.
It is really a movie that you have to see different times.
