Mr Sweet
Disappointed by leftists politics this last few years, PAP'40 of the Church of the Holy $aint Con$umption decide to run for presidential election of 2022 to fix the country. He meets his electorate and other candidates to spread the word : Work, Obey, Consume !
A cinematographic “cadavre exquis”, whose entrails reveal the odd nature of a (un)certain Belgian cinema. Authors, directors, actors who have proved that imposture could be an act of creation. Convinced that any so-called “new” cinematographic production was in fact a rehash of what had already been made, these pirates of images snuck as forgers, liars, tricksters, usurpers, … Outlaws of the cinema who falsified its form. From the filmed imposture of Man Bites Dog to Jan Bucquoy’s fabulist biopic, everything participates in the dynamiting of institutional language through simulacrum and absurdity. This free journey in the “cine-belgitude” has for vocation to approach these marvellous eccentrics followers of a overexcited and stripping situationism.
Le marié
История о двух абсолютно непохожих друг на друга братьев. Нот — самый старый панк с собакой во всей Европе, околачивающийся возле торговых центров в надежде, что покупатели угостят его йогуртом, пивом или собачьим кормом. Его брат Жан-Пьер работает продавцом в магазине постельного белья. Внезапно Жан-Пьера увольняют с работы и лишают крыши над головой, после чего братья возобновляют общение. Борясь против потребительского общества, они пытаются устроить революцию в торговом центре.
Himself
The Antics Roadshow is a celebration of the pranksters, hoaxers, jokers, activists and stunt merchants who use public space for their own unauthorised ends. This film brings together a wide range of individuals with all sorts of motivations, who have all hijacked the public arena to make a noise, be it for comedic, artistic or political ends, and have all done so using a variety of illicit and eccentric methods, which the audience should probably not try at home.

This film is one of the first (maybe the first?) ready-made of cinema.
A friend of Bouyxou and Noel Godin, before leaving the army, took two training films, and Bouyxou and Godin decided to add some credits at the beggining of these, and then screen it without warnings. Godin made his version, "Les Cahiers du cinéma", and Bouyxou made "Sortez vos culs de ma commode".
Le curé
A bourgeoisie client is transformed into a mouse and cannibalized by a prostitute in flagrante delicto with the camera changing focus in time to her breathing.
The film is a series of images, shown in short takes (anywhere from a few frames to 30 seconds), of more or less fetishistic imagery (something Bouyxou was particularly fond of). After a credit and title sequence written on naked human flesh, the viewer sees the brilliant Molinier standing sanctimoniously in front of a screen. Soon he is joined by a woman, and he fondles her breasts while retaining his signature grin. Molinier seems to almost be the 'ringmaster' of the incidents, with almost every minute episode cutting back to him. His presence is one thing that makes this film remarkable; the same sort of aura that exists in Moliniers famous self-portraits and cut-ups is present here, on screen. (esotika.blogspot.com)
