Overview

Following in the wake of Benoît Poelvoorde and Philippe Geluck, comedians, actors and other Belgian singers have established themselves in France in recent years, in the media and on stage. But, if we appreciate them today, this was not always the case. In this documentary, director Olivier Monssens acts as the spokesperson for his compatriots. Through testimonies and delicious archive images, he returns to the not-so-distant era when our neighbors were considered friendly but somewhat idiotic people. The film is also an opportunity to understand what characterizes the Belgian spirit by focusing on some of its facets: humor and its famous local variation, self-deprecation, cinema and music.

Les Belges ça ose tout

Overview

Pendant longtemps, certaines blagues françaises raillaient les Belges. Aujourd'hui, l'humour du plat pays semble être à la mode un peu partout dans les médias français. L'occasion de rappeler - à l'aide de savoureuses archives - ce qu'est l'humour belge, comment il était perçu en France il n'y a pas si longtemps. Le documentaire propose un tour d'horizon des personnalités très diverses de la « belgitude », comme Stéphane De Groodt, Alex Vizorek, Virginie Efira, Philippe Geluck, Charline Vanhoenacker, Guillermo Guiz, Salvatore Adamo, Gustave Kervern, Benoît Delépine ou encore Virginie Hocq.
