DVD : RUMOURS

A film by Frits STANDAERTS (Belgium - 2010)

Three hares are dozing on a lovely summer afternoon in the middle of the jungle when suddenly a strange noise can be heard among the foliage.
Panic-striken, they take flight, with in their wake all the animals of the jungle.
Only the lion manages to stop them by reluctantly showing them the origin of this crazy rumour...

Inspired by an old Tibetan fable full of wisdom and humour, Rumours pokes fun at the gregarious spirit of all groups, whether animal or human.

« It is a simple, universal story that is easy to understand and conveys in a very funny manner the philosophical wisdom I wanted to portray  », explains the director Frits STANDAERT.

In all his films, Frits STANDAERT who also directs adverts, and is a producer and educational advisor at the RITS performing arts school in Brussels, enjoys exploiting the grotesque nature of a situation to its maximum.

Rumours is a fable that advocates the importance of critical and thinking, and thus joins the rank of L’écrivain, Kiss the Moon, Wundermilch, Jailbird, his previous productions.
