One Week Only!Eldorado
Take a tragicomedic road-trip across Belgium with a modern-day Odd Couple!
Writer-director Bouli Lanners casts himself as a quick-tempered, 40-year-old vintage car dealer who arrives home one night to discover an inept young burglar trying to rob him. He develops a strange affection for the thief and agrees to take him home to his parents in his old Chevrolet. Thus begins an odd journey across Belgium, with wide-screen images that suggest the American West.
Winner of the best European film award at Cannes' Directors Fortnight!
Runs Friday, May 29 - Thursday, June 4
