布鲁塞尔是比利时一座孤独的城市，导演巴斯·德沃斯的情节剧。政治精神萦绕在日益脆弱的欧盟的中心。在战争与和平、难民营和议会辩论中，一群迷失的灵魂在生活的尖锐和模糊中飘荡。其中一个是年轻的阿拉伯人梅迪，他敏锐地感受到了时代的重负，然后他的兄弟向他请求一个重大的帮助。另一位是佛兰芒医生瓦恩斯，他的儿子正在前往中东执行任务。还有意大利翻译阿尔巴，她的生活可能会慢慢地，但肯定地从她身边溜走。这三个人都是通过摄像机的动作联系在一起的，随着电影的发展，摄像机的动作越来越成为主角。它的搜索运动沿着城市的裂缝和破裂，它的建筑和居民。有时，这些影像围绕着事件旋转，但在其他时刻却停留在一个集中的静止状态中，电影通过这个静止状态来捕捉它的精神。 Brussels is a lonely city in Belgian director Bas Devos’s episodic drama. The spirits of politics haunt the centre of an increasingly fragile European Union. Amidst war and peace, refugee camps and parliamentary debates, a group of lost souls drifts through the sharpness and fuzziness of life. One of them is a young Arab, Medhi; he feels the burden of the times keenly, and then his brother asks a momentous favour of him. Another is the Flemish doctor Wannes, whose son is on the way to a tour of duty in the Middle East. And then there is the Italian translator Alba, whose life threatens to slip away from her, slowly but surely. These three people are all connected by the movements of a camera which increasingly becomes the protagonist itself as the film progresses. Its searching movements feel along the city’s cracks and ruptures, its buildings and its inhabitants. Sometimes the images revolve around the events, only to come to rest at other moments in a concentrated standstill through which the film seeks to capture its spirits.
