Brussels, the Wild Side

About This Movie

So, 'Brussels, the Wild Side' is this intriguing documentary that dives into the hidden wildlife that flourishes in the cracks of urban life in Brussels. The director remains in the shadows, which adds to this almost mysterious vibe of the film. You get this fascinating juxtaposition of city life and nature, where urban dwellers share their space with foxes, wild boar, and even parakeets. The pacing is pretty laid back, letting you soak in the imagery and sounds of the city as well as its unexpected inhabitants. It’s not just about animals; it touches on themes of coexistence and the resilience of nature. There's a rawness to the visuals, too, with practical effects that ground it in reality without trying to sensationalize. Quite a unique find for a documentary, really.
