Patrick Van Antwerpen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Patrick Van Antwerpen is a Belgian author-filmmaker born on May 17, 1944 in Ixelles (Brussels) and deceased in this commune on December 3, 1990. In 1980, it turns a pretty small corner in natural decorations, in the Northern district of Brussels then in demolition. The film, adapted of a spectacle of mime, is appeared as a succession of comic situations and gags between two tramps who meet in a waste ground. In 1985, it carries out Vivement this evening. Very influenced by Jacques Tati, one could subtitle this film Mr Hulot with the supermarket. The film reports the course of one day in a supermarket of the area of Brussels. The history of this day, with its small funny or pathetic events, constitute the general frame of film. The situations treated by small successive keys highlight some of our behaviors vis-a-vis at food, the repetitive side of our gestures and our displacements in this closed universe... (Patrick Van Antwerpen) Its two films are humanistic, generous.
