Bullhead (2011)

An Oscar? Would be well deserved..!

[9/10 · 20 January 2012]

The kind of movie that hits you in the face. Once you learn the dark childhood-story of the main character, you learn to understand the movie more and more. The images are intense. Actor Matthias Schoenaerts makes an incredible impression.

This movie doesn't use explosions, 3D or other tricks to make you watch. But the powerhouse performances and typical Belgium scenery do.

The movie is set in the hormones and veterinarian mob. But the true story at the heart is one of revenge and the impossibility of love. Enter a raw, but true world. An brilliant Belgium movie. It deserves an Oscar.

PS: For Dutch or French viewers some scenes are actually funny because or the stereotypes and linguistic jokes.

Guernsey (2005)

Not easy to watch & extremely good

[10/10 · 17 October 2010]

Do not see this movie if you just want to 'watch any flick'. To me it's one of the best Dutch movies around. But it's not an easy one to watch. For one: it does contain a suicide. Further on it leaves you with a lot of questions and hardly any answers. But it does get you thinking about relations, family and how much we actually know or understand each other as humans.

There's more to this movie than meets the eye at first. Which is why some people choose to be negative about it. Do watch this movie if you're interested in soul-searching and learning about life! It opens up for you if you have some patience.
