DVD : A REAL EYE OPENER (Les yeux de la tête)

A film by Jérôme CAUWE & Pierre MOUSQUET (France - 2011)

An american film star is hit by a golf ball and loses his eye during a game of golf in France.
He can rely on the high standard of medical services in Europe and the emerging Chinese economy to put things right...

The life of this Hollywood star revolves around money and appearances. The same values apply when he unfortunately finds himself in hospital after being hit in the eye with a golf ball.
If we can buy a new eye here, regardless of the cost, it is because in other countries people can be arrested and executed at the drop of a hat.

The doctors take care of all the negotiations and the organ trade goes on unperturbed.

Arnaud DEMUYNCK’s scenario for this film is full of cruel irony as he reltes a consciousness-raising tale for citizens of the world.

Pierre MOUSQUET and Jérôme CAUWE, both animators from LA CAMBRE (Brussels), have excelled in their use of biting satire, caricature and cliché, taken straight from American TV series, already present in their award-winning degree show film "Je te pardonne" (CANAL +, Festival d’Annecy 2010).
