Good acting, bad directing.

Titus De Voogdt and Johan Heldenbergh are wonderful actors who are underplaying very effectively the whole film and create this sense of cool reality. Delfine Bafort is a model who is very convincing in her first big role. There is a scene where she tries to connect with Steve where we actually believe she doesn't really care about Steve, but plays it as we believe she actually want to tell him she loves him. Great love story! Just a shame the film has just such a terrible quality and we feel that the whole film has no real viewpoint. It lacks a little bit of edge, where American movies are so great in. But this is maybe due to the lack of experience. Same actors other director, please !!

Beautiful and original

I already saw this movie 2 times and I'm planning to see it another time.Although the story in itself is very simple (a love story), the screenplay is great and very unpredictable.Great acting by Johan Heldenberg (or something like that) who plays Jean-Claude, a beautiful real Steve portraited by Titus Devoogt and a mystical Sky, played by Delfine -i don't know her last name.Direction is beautiful, with great editing (flashbacks-flashforwards), stunning cinematography (it's shot on 16mm and blown up to 35mm). There is no thing about it that I don't like, from the music to the beautiful images to it's great ending (not an usual ending as mostly with love stories). Complements to Felix van Groeningen who delivers here a fantastic debutThe movie is full of great scenes, with some very funny dialogues and some very touching moments ('Dromen zijn Bedrog'-scene is wonderful).It's like you are in trance for 100 minutes... Great movie
