When I was about 15 or 16 years old and was in the 5th secondary school, my book of Dutch contained an assignment that had to do with this Carlo. It was the period before Rundskop and you can imagine my surprise when, after seeing Rundskop, I suddenly realized that it was the same director. Not really surprising, because you can already see elements here that he would exhibit in his later work. That quote about chance and malchance has stuck with me all these years and I have to say that the review just now has been better than expected. Bit contrived admittedly but further to the point and could perhaps have been worked out a bit more. Sam Louwyck's character therefore falls a bit in between.

Indeed, some seem to be born for the accident. Wrong place and wrong time,
Carlo has indeed not hit it. The intro with the voice-over, I suspect the voice of
Roskam itself, suggests a tough tragedy and it will be.

Bende van Nijvel style, how amateur shotters are exchanged for nothing sparing criminals. One is crazier than the other. Of course you have to go to character head Sam Louwyck for that. Nice to have seen, but quite rough and intense.

Apart from the unfortunate prejudice and misunderstanding between Walloons and Flemish people, which is very crudely presented here, this short film talks about happiness or misfortune and the consequences that would be independent of it... And that is also crudely presented.
