Why we chose it

A spiteful man in slippers in a Brussels block of flats turns out to be God, and his fed-up daughter has just texted everyone the date they will die. Belgian director Jaco Van Dormael tells it with the black humour Europe fell for, while somewhere in the chaos Catherine Deneuve sighs over a gorilla.

Synopsis

God lives in a poky Brussels flat, and he is such a petty coward that his own family can’t bear him. Bored out of her mind, his daughter finally turns on him, breaks into his computer and sends every person on Earth the date they will die. Now everyone knows exactly how long they’ve got.
