So, 'Het geluk komt morgen' is a curious little gem from 1958. You’ve got this quirky blend of comedy and a touch of surrealism. Thomas, the protagonist, is on this pilgrimage, but the whole thing takes a turn when he's offered this miraculous footbath. It’s got that whimsical charm typical of European cinema of the time, and the pacing feels relaxed, almost contemplative, as it builds up to the climax around Expo 58. The performances are quite playful, adding to the overall light-hearted atmosphere. What’s distinctive here is how it weaves a simple narrative with deeper themes of hope and commerce, especially during such a lively event as the Brussels Expo.
This film has seen limited releases, mostly in obscure formats, making it a bit of a challenge to track down. Depending on your territory, you might find it on vintage compilations or niche labels, but the scarcity is definitely noted among collectors. The unique premise and that sweet blend of comedy and surrealism keeps its status alive among enthusiasts, though it doesn’t often pop up in mainstream discussions.
