An unknown jewel

Honestly, I wonder how I actually ended up watching this flick but I was eventually very thankful. Basically, it is one of the very few good Belgian movies I have seen (aside from the amazing work from the Dardenne brothers). It is also one of the very few movies completely filmed from the point of view of the main character (there is also 'La femme dรฉfendue' and "Zusje", if you are interested) and, even though it might seem like an unecessary gimmick, I thought it was a very efficient way to tell this story. Indeed, basically, the plot is about a main character who is agoraphobic, meaning he cannot go outside and cannot interact directly with other persons. So, the guy spends the whole day in the front of his computer, videochatting with people, ordering food, having virtual sex,... I think, at the time, I have never heard of this phobia before and I thought it was actually very well developed and quite fascinating to behold. On top of that, not only it was quite an interesting watch but it was also very funny and entertaining. To conclude, even though it is a really obscure flick, I thought it was a really original feature and it is definitely worth a look.

8/10
