Les joyeuses aventures de Bossemans et Coppenolle

1938 · 84 min

A breezy, silly romp where thick local accents and football loyalties turn a familiar love story into gentle, good-natured farce.

Overview: The story is a comedy about two dimwitted men from Brussels, Bossemans and Coppenolle. Much of the comedy comes from the fact that the characters all speak in the local Brussels dialect, which added to its popularity in Brussels and Wallonia. The plot broadly parodies Romeo & Juliet, with the contending families on opposite side of the contemporary Brussels football rivalry between Daring Club de Bruxelles and Union Saint-Gilloise.
How it feels: Light, whimsical, absurd and satirical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Love, family, identity, sport
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
