Manneken Pis

I saw this movie at a cinema and loved it from the beginning: This mystical Belgian romance centers upon a young man who is unable to utter the three little words his girl friend most wants to hear. Harry, a young man who boards a streetcar driven by pretty Jeanne. She instigates a romance between although she finds him emotionally distanced and unable to commit to her. He would like to get closer. Twinkle in their eyes. This is how it could have been for them and how Harry and Jeanne would have wanted it to be, yet we all know that love comes either too early or too late, but never at the right moment.

After the film, I went home by tram - unfortunately it was not Jeanne driving - Sight.

I have to admit that I haven't even seen the whole movie, but watched some television late at night and while zapping the magical photography of Manneken Pis caught my attention. From that moment the dreamy pictures and the atmospheric musical score of the movie kept fascinating me. The cute lead actress Antje de Boeck is filmed in such a tender way that it feels as if the whole crew had fallen in love with her. A very charming movie that steals your heart.

one of the most touching love stories ever to come out of Belgium, Manneken Pis is the touching story of two people who try to life and love their lives despite their background and past. Great actors, beautifully shot, and the feelings of the main characters are brilliantly acted. If you liked 'Amelie Poulain', you should try this little movie. !

This is a very funny movie, not because of jokes or situation comedy, but because all characters are a bit over the top, bordering on surrealism. Actually, they only tell incredibly corny jokes, which is completely in character for them, and therefore funny on another level.

Favourite scene: only in a Belgian movie can a man sitting at a completely ordinary table and eating a completely ordinary dinner look so heartbreakingly pitiful.

One of the best Belgian movies ever, featuring one of the best belgian actresses: Antje de Boeck. Very moving comedy/drama of a female tram-driver who falls in love with a bashful guy who blames himself for the death of his parents. Also a surprising soundtrack from rocksinger Stijn Meuris.
