Political life of the Belgians

the Political life of the Belgians is a film on the Belgian elections of 2002.

It is amusing to see the confrontation of two opposite tiny political parties: the political parties are called Tarte and Vivant; the last carried out by the Belgian Richard Branson: Roland Duchâtelet.

Jan Bucquoy carries out to it the boat of No5el Godin and Benoît Poelvoorde, which is made involve in this swirl of jokes and make-up of the Belgian political life.

A laughing scene is the entry of No5el Godin in the polling station where it ends up irritating the police chief by the office which says to him: " Go that is enough now! ".

Comment

Without bias, this film does not let plane the convictions of the realizer who shows the Tart eccentric and theserious one of Vivant.

The documentary approach does not let hesitate to make remarks sometimes impestives or contradictory, the stake pincipale being: must one live to work or work to live?

The political life of the Belgians ( Tart or Alive ) is in fact a jouissive swindle in which the realizer films the confrontation of two new small parts policy in allegedly social matter. One ( Alive ) seeks respectability, pastichant with the passage the tics of the competitors, while counting on an operation of seduction which aims also the alternators. Tart on the other hand made diversion by the recourse to ludesque derision.

One could quote Charles Fourier: It is while being occupied with our pleasures present, that we work for the future .

Around film

The film does not take with serious the Belgian political parties but succeeds in developing a comic antagonism between the party Vivant (adhered to VLD) and Tarte, left without future which was especially used to channel the Utopie S and Bruxelloises angers.

It is about a Panorama amusing Belgian political practices with a burlesque intervention of Benoit Poelvoorde in a scene with his friend No5el Godin.

During a half-dozen of préélectoraux month, Jan Bucquoy trimballe its camera with the strawberry and the beard of the party of its silent partner (the film is financed by Roland Duchâtelet, large fortune of the kingdom.) and, opposite him, of that of a band of flabbergasted, the Tarte party, heir to not the less folklo Banane… to which Bucquoy belongs. On a side the old anarchistic idea of a universal income… recycled from the point of view néolibérale. Other, the only completely irresponsible autoproclamé party and preaching the hoax pataphysic.
