Hector (1987)
6/10
Nonsense
15 November 2024
A Belgian farce trying to launch a truant character, Hector, played by the actor Urbanus.

This Hector is an adult child, an orphan raised among children, in a convent school, until adulthood, to suddenly appear in the lives of his baker uncles and completely turn the whole family upside down.

If there are moments when he almost anticipates a Mr. Bean, this Hector ends up falling into banality, on most occasions, embarking on a physical and even childish comedy, albeit with a touch of nonsense that gives it some humor.

The script doesn't help, with an absurd plot and grotesque characters.

In short, a popular comedy, which could have been the beginning of an interesting and tragicomic character, but which fails miserably, allowing itself to fall into easy and silly populism.
