I'm going to buy it to spice up my french speaking. Oh, and it has Benoît Poelvoorde, my hero :D Our country(Belgium) will soon be on the first place of Worldchampionship "Making a government" As a protest, Poelvoorde said that no one shaves his beard until we have a government. It's two weeks already and i'm beardy ;D
Everybody should watch C'est arrivé près de chez vous (1992)( Man Bites Dog)
And it reminds to this Flemish series: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5Wk31wU0Yw&feature=related
This sounds good. GD is pretty bankable.
I agree, I loved Man Bites Dog.
J'aime Depardieu. Je ne savais pas qu'il y était un nouveau film avec lui.
When does it play (I'm in Belgium,too)
