Editorial Reviews

On the Belgian coast in the summer of 1986, Jan Bucquoy and a bevy of former 1968 intellectuals try to bring the working class nearer to art and culture (or vice versa). In the sand dunes where CAMPING COSMOS is set, one follows the merry escapades of campers, football fans, "dandy poets", unsatisfied women, frustrated performers and a whole little world struggling happily with the tragedies of daliy life in the immensity of Cosmos. In short, can one reconcile football with surrealism, avante garde art with radio talent contests, the needs of the heart with the needs of sex, Marx with Merckx? Well of course you can!

This review is from: Camping Cosmos ( La vie sexuelle des Belges, 2e partie ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - Netherlands ] (DVD)

Ripe political satire is experienced in camping Cosmos during 1986 where the apathetic beach campers are more interested in the beauty contest, the closeted gay exercise coach, eating french fries and watching soccer games on the big screen TV than the tirades of a visiting writer along with a frustrated anarchist and his former girlfriend who is also a terrorist sympathizer. The writer gets a pie in his face in a radio interview and the anarchist finally gets a hearing of his propaganda between rounds of a boxing match. Two youngsters fall in love at a sweethearts dance. Of course, the big draw to this film is a brief appearance of late adult film star Lola Ferrari who made the Guinness Book of Records title for having the world's largest breasts. The fantasy scenes featuring her are more attractive than you would expect.
