sa di Fantozzi, sa di Tati, ci sono i piccioni viaggiatori come in "Ghost Dog", sa di tristezza delle spiagge del Belgio, c'è la schifosa guerra coloniale in Congo, ci sono i rapporti tra una madre padrona e un figlio oppresso, i rapporti d'affetto con una strana puttana.
non sarà un film perfetto, ma vivo, triste e amaro, per me un piccolo e miracoloso capolavoro - Ismaele
In a French
seaside town, at a boarding house for civil servants recovering from surgery
and maladies, the six male residents’ lives change dramatically when two women
arrive: Catherine, lively, sexually liberated, willing to kiss, dance, and
sleep with the men, and Leonie, reserved, formal, conservative. Leonie finds
herself attracted to Leon, a Belgian who was a mercenary in Katanga in 1964,
wounded and carrying psychological scars as well. The other men continually
play practical jokes on Leon, some of them cruel. As Leon courts Leonie, his
horrid mother brings him emotional distress as do his memories of war. Can the
two of them get past these obstacles?
A strange and cruel history, played on a musical rhythm like a sonatina.
J.Brel preferred Agfacolor to the market leaders blank film brands, because of
their colder colors. I cheer this
movie like one of my favourites.
