La dernière tentation des Belges

“When my daughter Marie committed suicide a part of me died with her. I didn’t just lose her; I lost the way the world works. I felt the same emptiness as when my mother died. It had nothing to do with the loss of a woman’s love, which can also plunge you into absolute despair. No, it’s something else, it’s feeling truly alone, naked in the face of the fundamental question: is life worth living? Making this film is part of this moment of respite from the absurdity of life. It’s a kind of thumbing of the nose at the dramatic fate that awaits us. For me, making this film is a way of resurrecting what has been destroyed. There is love, surreal poetry, sharing, celebrity look-alikes (for want of anything better), and humour, especially humour.”
