Review of Moscow, Belgium (2008) by Gaiti F — 04 Feb 2011

Proof that Belgium's talent is "alive and well..." in spite of the political problems opposing the French and Flemish-speaking populations. Interestingly enough, the Belgian touch is revealed equally in French or Flemish, though it is Flemish in this case (and not Waloon made palatable for French-speaking audiences elsewhere) that pierces through, lulling this film with a tender-sweet quality that can also become justifiably rough (only Woody Allen's films match this).

The acting is stupendous, as is the filmography. Yes, there is a European cinema, but each country in the EU has its own particularities.
