If you like this film, let us know!
Add to a movie listLa Vie politique des Belges est un film sur les élections législatives belges de 1999.
Il est amusant de voir la confrontation de deux partis politiques minuscules opposés : les partis politiques s'appellent Tarte et Vivant ; le dernier mené par le Richard Branson belge : Roland Duchâtelet.
Jan Bucquoy y mène la barque de Noël Godin et de Benoît Poelvoorde, qui se font entraîner dans ce tourbillon de farces et de make-up de la vie politique belge.
Une scène hilarante est l'entrée de Noël Godin dans le bureau de vote où il finit par énerver le commissaire du bureau qui lui dit : "Allez ça suffit maintenant !".

Enfance : le film parle au début de la vie de famille flamande mais après il parle du petit Jan en ville de province et le Jan adolescent à l'encontre d'aventures sexuelles : il est témoin à l'école des tracasseries de son premier amour sale culotte. Sa tante Marta l'emmène voir le western Johnny Guitare (1954) avec Joan Crawford qui restera pour lui l'emblème de la femme parfaite. Johnny Guitare est une allusion à François Truffaut. Il ne sera tenté ni par le nationalisme flamand, ni par l'homosexualité: ceci est expliqué dans la scène au camping dans les champs de Dixmude avec le petit film de Laurel et Hardy Cavale en série. Là il refusera les attouchements d'un copain plus âgé, avec la tour d'Yser à l'arrière plan qui fait figure de symbole du Flamingantisme. Il fait sa première conquête amoureuse lors d'un bal de village pendant lequel Will Tura chante : Ik ben zo eenzaam zonder jou (Je me sens si seul sans toi).

Deux belges, Noël Godin et Jan Bucquoy, après une vie sentimentale déjantée, une carrière artistique tumultueuse, repartent à l'assaut de la société du spectacle, incarnée par le Festival de Cannes 2004. Cet univers, où l'image manipule la substance, sera le théâtre du conflit des sentiments entre les générations, au travers de rencontres hétéroclites, parfois douces-amères, mais toujours touchantes. Dans ce documentaire romancé, la quête presque effrénée d'amour et de jeunesse traduit un refus du temps qui passe, et de la fin qu'il annonce. Le film mélange, outre la référence aux vacances dans le titre du film, le burlesque de Les Vacances de monsieur Hulot et l'histoire du voyage au festival de cinéma de Cannes dans Les Vacances de Mr.

He presents things like Bertolt Brecht's play, Mother Courage and Her Children or an interview with the famous writer Pierre Mertens, but the vacationers at this caravan park are more interested in

Michael Moore begins by introducing himself and his family through 8 mm archival home movies; he describes himself as the Irish American Catholic middle-class son of a General Motors employee assembling AC spark plugs. Moore chronicles how GM had previously defined his childhood in Flint, Michigan, and how the company was the primary economic and social hub of the town. He points out that Flint is the place where the Flint Sit-Down Strike occurred, resulting in the birth of the United Auto Workers. He reveals that his heroes were the Flint natives who had escaped the oppressive life in GM's factories, including "Flint's most famous native son," game show host Bob Eubanks.

Most of the characters in the film are not named. A girl disguises herself as a boy to go attend the 2006 World Cup qualifying match between Iran and Bahrain. She travels by bus with a group of male fans, some of whom notice her gender, but do not tell anyone. At the stadium, she persuades a reluctant ticket tout to sell her a ticket; he only agrees to do so at an inflated price. The girl tries to slip through security, but she is spotted and arrested. She is put in a holding pen on the stadium roof with several other women who have also been caught; the pen is frustratingly close to a window onto the match, but the women are at the wrong angle to see it.
