Effects of pollution, put to song and dance

I seriously doubt anyone will ever see this film. It has never been shown on TV, not even in Belgium, and it does not exist on VHS or on DVD. And we should all be very thankful for that. "Waar de vogeltjes hoesten" ( = Where the birds are coughing)is probably THE most brainless nonsense ever unleashed upon mankind. The storyline is ludicrous, a cardboard box has more talent than the actors, the dancing is god-awful, and what are supposed to be songs are brain-dead lyrics put to infantile music. The director clearly had not got a clue as to what he was doing, which is even enhanced (if this was possible) by the clumsy editing. This film will never ever appear in anyone's "Worst Ever" list because only a few people ever saw it. Should you ever get the chance to see it, avoid it....or feast your eyes on this lame mess. Makes "Plan 9 from Outer Space" look like Citizen Kane !

Dutch cinema often combines understated realism with offbeat humor, tackling moral ambiguity and social change. It balances intimate storytelling with bold, sometimes provocative, visual styles. Dutch films combine art-house sensibility with grounded storytelling, reflecting the country's open, yet quietly complex culture.

The fantasy genre features imaginative and often magical worlds, characters, and events. It explores realms beyond the boundaries of reality, featuring elements such as magic, mythical creatures, supernatural powers, and fantastical settings. These stories can take place in entirely fictional worlds or blend fantastical elements with real-world settings.

Elijah Wood in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

The musical genre features stories that combine music, singing, dancing, acting, and often spoken dialogue to tell a story or convey a narrative. Musicals incorporate various elements of drama, music, and choreography to create a cohesive theatrical experience that engages audiences on multiple levels.

Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music (1965)

Futuristic vision of our society where pollution goes hand in hand with pollution of the mind.
