There's something about belgium movies. Being from the Netherlands I always get a bit jealous. Why isn't it possible for our country to produce some descent films?
Anyway, this movie is another belgium masterpiece.
Giving away the ending would be lame, so I just say this to the people who haven't seen it yet: it is worth the wait.
Aaltra is a 'weelchair roadmovie'. It is shot in black and white wich make the images stand out. There is not much talking. So you have to get in to subtle, mostly visual humour. The bizarre situation at itself and other individual weird scenes made me laugh a lot. Aspecially the scene where some crazy dude sings Sonny by Boney M in one of the cafés the main characters crash. http://whatthemovie.com/shot/26899
This and some heavy metal/punk band in another café, are the only times music is heard in the film. Maybe that's why it made those scenes extra funny.
