This is quite interesting in the way in which both of these actors middle-aged man here François Damiens and a much younger woman Salomé Dewaels playing his daughter in this film come across as extremely gifted both of them it is kind of one of those films where it's a film about making a film which can be quite an annoying medium America has produced many of those types of films over the years and some European movies have also done that but quite frankly even though they are doing that here it does not have the annoying dimension that you sometimes find about thespians talking about thespians letting the the viewer know how difficult it is for them to be thespians

What we see here is a father trying to rekindle a relationship with his daughter whom he has abandoned years ago together with his wife the mother of the daughter at first she is reluctant obviously since she thinks he's going to be here just for a day or two and then go away again but he now has a strong type of cancer and therefore actually means business this time

There is a sort of parallel universe interplay kind of different outcomes shown one after the other like a dream sequence or maybe what could have happened and that kind of thing which is a bit disorientating at times but ultimately it comes together pretty well

• Although it mentioned The Marquesas Islands in the title a place where Brel liked to be we do not go there we are stuck between Brussels and

Brittany in this film between an oyster farm a nice cottage near the coast and the streets of Brussels

• It is really quite an odd movie with its own very unique flavor again held together by two sterling performances; bittersweet quite sad at times but ultimately leaves you with a nice feeling.
