Poelvoorde - Logements sociaux



J'adore!!! Sorry .... it's in French with no subtitles (I couldn't find another version). However, the name of the film, in English, is "MAN BITES DOG", in case you haven't seen it.

It is a pseudo-documentary, a comedy, a reflection on life in Belgium, a sarcastic little gem ... not for everyone: it is violent and can be offensive to a lot of people because eventhough it is humor, he is basically saying what so many people (sadly, naively or sometimes brilliantly) think ...
