Surreal trip through an unrecognizable country
So very late to the party (this movie!) but I loved it. Small Gods feels like a surreal journey through a country I (as someone born and brought up in Belgium) can barely recognize with people I might('ve) known, one day. The cinematography manages to make Belgium both unrecognizably dreary and unrecognizably beautiful, in some way. Now the story is... strange, very slow burn, slow burn as in I didn't understand anything for the first twenty minutes of the movie and considered turning it off. Bits and pieces of the plot are revealed at a snail's pace almost, but finishing is most definitely worth it. Would recommend.
