The Adventures of Tintin (2011)
The right balance between faithfulness to Hergé and the format of a movie
I saw Tintin tonight, being very skeptical as someone for whom the Tintin comic strips have been a significant part of my childhood readings. Well, after spending 10 years not going back to the originals, that movie struck me as a faithful yet entertaining take on Hergé's legacy. Kudos to Steven Spielberg for remaining faithful to the original aesthetics and yet succeeding at shining at what he does best: making entertaining rememberable movies. Some Europeans (and especially Belgians) might criticise the process of Hollywood "stealing" European culture, but, as an European (and Belgian) who grew up in Hergé's work, I can only disagree and admire this impressive and entertaining, yet faithful adaptation.
La promesse (1996)
An amazing belgian movie...
One of the most amazing movies I've ever seen. The story take place in the quite ugly "all grey" suburbs of a belgian city and is about illegal emigrant workers.
Absolutely no music, just simple human emotion...
It shows the talent of belgian movie scene (here the Dardenne brothers) who make superb movies with ridiculously small budgets.
Check out their amazing new movie "Rosetta" who won the "Palme d'Or" at 99' Cannes film festival.
