Boulevards de la Senne is a documentary that dives deep into the overlooked narratives of Brussels, specifically focusing on the hidden river that flows beneath its bustling boulevards. The tone is reflective, almost melancholic, as it raises questions about memory and the way urban life tends to erase its own history. With a pacing that allows you to absorb the visuals and the thoughtful texts from figures like Saidou Ly and Gustave Abeels, it feels almost poetic. The film's distinctive quality lies in its ability to blend archival material with present-day observations—it's not just a history lesson but a meditation on loss and identity in a city that often forgets. It's a quiet yet powerful piece that lingers long after viewing.
