Waar de vogeltjes hoesten (1974)

January 1, 1974 (BE) Fantasy • 90m

Overview

'Waar de vogelstjes hoesten' is a rare, satirical fable presented as a fantasy musical. The film tells the surreal love story of a flower girl and a scarecrow who leave their rural home for the big city. Upon arrival, they quickly become corrupted by industrial capitalism and victims of their own growing greed. Featuring unique choreography by Lydia Chagoll, this experimental production serves as a powerful artistic critique. It explicitly warns against the degradation of the environment and the spiritual pollution of modern human society.

I seriously doubt anyone will ever see this film. It has never been shown on TV, not even in Belgium, and it does not exist on VHS or on DVD. And we should all be very thankful for that. "Waar de vogeltjes hoesten" ( = Where the birds are coughing)is probably THE most brainless nonsense ever unleashed upon mankind. The storyline is ludicrous, a cardboard box has more talent than the actors, the dancing is god-awful, and what are supposed to be so… read the rest.
