Why are all good Belgian movies Flemish???

Yesterday, we had the opportunity to go and see a Flemish film called Ben X, which has already got several awards and it will perhaps make it to the final 5 in the Foreign Language Film category of the 80th Academy Awards Ceremony in 2008. Wait and see. If you haven't seen the film yet, please watch the trailer:



Ben is kind of a modern Rain Man, but addicted to computer games. He's bullied at school and the film's all about it. This bullying is so harsh that he'll consider committing suicide.

I found this film very interesting in the way the action was filmed; photography was brilliant and innovating. I especially liked the opening credits.

I still wonder why we can't make such achieved movies as this one in Wallonia…
