A shame for Luxemburg

I think it's a shame that people around the world associate Luxemburg with Andy Bausch movies. His flicks display a wrong, disrespectful and silly picture of Luxembourgian culture. I haven't seen all of Mr. Bausch movies, but "Le club des chomeurs" is certainly one of his best, which does not mean much. It still is badly written and directed and the acting comes closer to amateur theater than anything else.

It may have some kind of juvenile charm , which may appeal to a minority, but overall it's just bullshit. Take a look at some of the movies by Pol Cruchten, a more gifted director than Bausch, to get an accurate image of this small, but charming country.
