It gives a raw look into the inner workings of two contrasting Belgian political parties as they gear up for elections. The pacing oscillates between frenetic and contemplative, reflecting the tension and drama of political life. Bucquoy captures candid moments from meetings and voting, but what stands out is how he injects humor into the political process, showcasing the absurdities that often come with it. The leaders' performances are quite telling, revealing their personality and motivations in a way that's both entertaining and thought-provoking. It's a unique lens on Belgian politics, and the practical effects of the candid camera style lend an authenticity that enhances its charm.
