Belgium
Screenwriter, director and star Bouli Lanners (the lead in CINEMANIA 2015’s audience favourite I’M DEAD BUT I HAVE FRIENDS by the Malandrin brothers), brings us a surrealistic road movie filled with deadpan humour. We follow a pair of grizzled bounty hunters searching for a stolen cell phone containing compromising files. Along the way, they meet cowboys, thieves, fools and Jesus — and all this takes place at the end of the world! It’s an absurd existential tale about the twilight of life on our planet.
The iconic Max von Sydow, Québec’s Suzanne Clément and Albert Dupontel all appear in this poetic, philosophical and touching Belgian Western that film aficionados will find fascinating.
