5.0 out of 5 stars Growing up in a backward country in the sexual revolution ., February 24, 2002

By A Customer

One can never learn enough about sex seems to pretend the director of this movie. He grows up in a little town in Belgium and his dream is to become a writer. He is trapped at an evening party with the daughter of the butcher and this leaves him with the feeling of a bad start. He sees his aunt and discovers for the first time the shape of a female body which captivates him and the encouragements of his schooltheacher makes him dream of a splendid future. He leaves the factory where he should spend the rest of his life and goes to Brussels. He makes a child to his beloved one, so he has to marry but meanwhile he falls in love with his marxist teacher and soon there is a divorce. But with the invention of the pill the sexual revolution starts and he now wants to revenge his solitary childhood. He does not succeed as a writer and becomes frustrated when he cannot at the end discover his "real one". More and more he thinks back at his happy youth when there was nothing complicated in the arms of his mother wich was the starting image of the movie. He is present when his mother dies and he finds consolation with the angel of love who forgives in the name of his mother his unfruitful life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Belgian's strangest filmmaker at his best, August 24, 1999

By A Customer

Though I saw this movie several years ago, I remember it as being very shocking yet very amusing too. For those who don't mind vulgar comedy,big breasts,Lola Ferrari's, then I'm sure you'll have a great time watching this little piece of Belgian summer.
