In the Shadow of Jozef Peeters is a fascinating dive into a relatively obscure figure, Peeters, who seems to have shaped more than just art but also the lives around him. The film's pacing moves delicately, allowing viewers to linger on the intimate moments shared between his family members. The apartment itself becomes a character, thanks to Godelieve's efforts to preserve and share its history. You really get a sense of their lives, their struggles, and how the shadow of Peeters looms over them. The way they connect past and present, blending memories with the physical space, feels distinctive. It’s not your typical documentary; it has a rhythm that pulls you into an everyday world that’s just a bit extraordinary.
