De Patrick

The story is solid, polished and straightforward as a nail, but hits you hard like a mallet. I'm not too hot on the nudist aspect, but hey, that's just my blunt opinion. Anyways, I'll give it six hammer out of ten.

"De Patrick" After watching this movie people question "is it a Drama or a Comedy"? Others Question if its about "dealing with the loss of his father" or "Trying to find his hammer", or is the search for the Hammer the way he deals with his fathers death.

What i think? I think that many times it's not about where your coming from or where your going to, but about what the travel brought you. So i think that the director wanted us to struggle with that question to keep us interested and wandering, and he succeeded.

Patrick finds himself on hand with the task of managing a nudists campsite, after the death of his father, at the same time that his favorite hammer mysteriously disappears. A very interesting dark comedy that explores mourning in a different way. The shock factor with constant nudity is easily overcome in the opening minutes, as we see that nudity as a complement to the characters development, and not from a sexual perspective. Since the campsite is the only location during the film, the good photography work gives us a different perspective on it, without tiring us with the same trees or the same caravan all the time.

Wonderfull story and great atmosphere. The story is about a young man who lives with his parents on a nude camping. His father runs the camping and he does the repairs.One day his favoriete hammer is stolen. He grieven about the loss and is determend to vind it again. Because of the young man's sociale struckeling evers scene is very trilling.With great actors. You also see the influences of the great comics of Belgium.

Rather sweet and a little wacky if not laugh-a-minute strange film set in a nudists campsite. Patrick works with his old parents in the place in the woods but prefers to be on his own making chairs. There are two terrible things that happen. First his hammer from the set is most missing and also his father who dies. Because of the two missing for Patrick he is not of the most misplaced of the one most important at all. The splendid and unusual look of the photography the look caused by Tim Mielants on his 'Alexa Mini' the compact lightweight camera he has been most famous caught on TV Series episodes on The Terror and Peaky Blinders.
