Honestly, after you see "Helaasheid der Dingen" (Misfortunates), you'll just cry. No more belgian jokes. Damn that movie has fucked me up (in a good way) for good. Such a fantastic movie. Nearly cried at one point.

Can't even finish the trailer without wanting to cry.

Looks great - is that out on dvd yet? With English subtitles hopefully?

Belgium, Austria, Canada, Wales, New Zealand surely?

surely Ireland / the Irish get more jokes than Wales / the Welsh?― Emma, 22 August 2001 00:00 (8 years ago)
irsh jokes are about the irish, jokes about belgium and wales are about the location?

Countries saddled with arrogant, overbearing and self-important neighbours in being the butt of jokes shockah!

complacency against the natural enemy in an election year, dangerous.

Bill, I am pretty sure it is available with subtitles. Might not yet be on DVD for you guys though. It's not as depressing as you would think. It's an ode to his (alcoholic) dad. Still it fucks you up because, like the main character says, anything beautiful is crushed. I recommend it highly. Very highly.

I'll check it out - looks like there's a Belgian DVD with english subtitles, but at 20 Euros it's a bit steep for my wallet, will do a little t0rrent scouring instead...

Maybe Thomas Bernhard was right about Austria...
