BB #47

Back in the day, when I still lived in a student house, one of those with 12 rooms and a shared kitchen where the TV stood, and a couch to hang out on. Invariably, whenever we guys were watching a movie and one of the girls walked in, you could set your clock by it that the only bit of bare skin in a one-and-a-half-hour film would be visible at that exact moment. And the comments we got, of course. Until one of my neighbors, in a moment of brilliant wit, said, "No, you're seeing it wrong, it's about the camerawork! The lighting! Cinematography! This is art!"

So this is that kind of film, but *the* kind—perhaps back then a lost soul might have wanted to see this film for a bare breast or buttock, but with today's standards—cough, I mean of course the simple availability of excessive amounts of porn—that plays absolutely no role anymore, and it is truly only about, yes indeed, the camerawork. The lighting. The cinematography, the film music, the constantly recurring melody of Colinot the skirt-lifter, and the uninhibited way he approaches life. The opposite of Calvinism in the Low Countries, which believes that life must be suffered for the reward in the afterlife—we live now, let's have fun.

Objectively, the film might be a rather uninteresting farce—and in that sense, a summary of the majority of the films in which BB has played a role. But on the other hand, it is also just a little bit more—a celebration of life, pleasure over ever-nagging criticism, the good being better than the better. For BB, a fitting farewell to the film world. It is a pity there weren't countless more Mépris, Vérites, Coeurs, or Lumières in it, and deep respect for the guts to simply draw a thick, bold line. If only everyone did that.
