Monsieur Etrimo

About This Movie

Monsieur Etrimo is a fascinating dive into the psyche of home ownership in Belgium, exploring a dream that feels almost universal yet deeply personal. The film's pacing is contemplative, allowing us to linger on the lives of middle-class families as they navigate their aspirations and realities. There's a rawness to the interviews; the practical effects are minimal, but the emotions are palpable. The way Collin captures the nuanced struggles of these families creates a poignant atmosphere, making their stories resonate. It’s not flashy, but rather grounded in the everyday, which gives it a distinctive edge among documentaries. It’s an interesting study of socio-economic themes, really, and not what you’d expect from a typical doc.

Unique exploration of homeownership themes.Real stories from everyday families.Thought-provoking without being overly dramatic.
