Film List Belgium Comedies incl. FREE STREAMS 

 Where there are no wine-growing areas, where the North Sea is as grey as the sky, uncouth comedies come from. The cinematically ugly ones from Belgium are black humorous prolo-comedies. They are unfathomable moral paintings, grubby, drastic and tender like The Folly of Things. The Belgium of the Plumsklos and Pommesbuden is the soil for Louise Michel and Eldorado. The Groland Magazine on Canal plus, a satirical news programme fed by the gags of the brothers Benoit and Gustave de Kervern (Aaltra), sets the tone for this kind of comedy. Groland is a fictional country with odd characters and thus became a source of inspiration for the real Belgium. Yolande Moreau is the star of this kind of comedy, a lumpenproletarian cattle with a dragging zombie step, the rebirth of mother Flodder. In the Belgian comedies, singing, partying and gruesome wallpaper patterns are a must. Caravans as dwellings and Vokuhila hairstyles are the ingredients for precise character studies in the most remote asocial niches. Actually, all these films should be dramas. The patrons of the Belgian comedy are Aki Kaurismäki and Ken Loach, the great role model of the anarchic comedy Themroc as the ancestor of the funny drinkers, An-Die-Wand pissers and anti-citizens. But there is no beach waiting for her under the pavement...
