Henri-Georges Clouzot
'Quai des Orfèvres'

Studio 5

It was thanks to Louis Jouvet that the studio doors opened once again to Clouzot, after the ostracism that followed Le Corbeau. He immediately reconquered his position at the top of French film with this psychological thriller bringing together the Parisian underworld, music hall and the crime police. Based on the novel by SA Steeman, Clousot creates an expressionist atmosphere and a highly unattractive portrait of humanity. The trio made up of Jouvet/Blier and Delair is a winner. With: Louis Jouvet, Bernard Blier, Suzy Delair

'Tempo of a restless soul' Unscreened documentary

Studio 5

Manu Riche / Renaat Lambeets - B – 2009 – documentaire – kleur / couleur - 75’ - VO / OV NL - STT FR

Musical documentaries form a genre in which Belgium holds a proud position. Tom Barman, frontman of the Antwerp band dEUS for one, is a film-lover who directed the cult movie Any way the wind blows (2003). For two years, Manu Riche and cameraman Renaat Lambeets filmed him on and off stage in the hell hole that is Forest National, the Werchter festival site and world tours, but also at home with his mother and sister. This is fly-on-the-wall approach, and the tempo is frenzied, spontaneous and, naturally further heightened by dEUS’s music.

'Turks fruit'

Studio 5

Paul Verhoeven - NL – 1973 – fiction / fictie – couleur / kleur – 107’ – VO / OV NL – STT FR

A crudely explicit story of love and death, Turkish Delight is the first collaboration between Paul Verhoeven and Rutger Hauer, who worked together on five films before making it to separate stardom in the US. This film is miles away from Hollywood, with its mixture of provocative underground realism and crazy romanticism. A painter falls in love with a rich woman, Olga, in Love Story revisited by Andy Warhol. Unique in its genre, the film glides along to the sound of Toots’ harmonica.
