 Very entertaining film. There is so much going on and so many sharp twists of the knife in poor Thomas' life that its difficult to write a summary without spoiling the film, in fact I had to edit my review because I'd inadvertently let slip a major surprise in the plot. I cannot even tell you how the story starts because you need to see the film all the way through and then decide for yourself what it was all about. Lets just say the film tells you Thomas' side of the story, and that's Ok because its his life, but whichever way you look at it, and make your own judgements, you will still be entertained.

Short trailer, which doesn't give too much away:

Brilliant and inventive storytelling from Jaco Van Dormael, his debut full length feature. It is the life story of Thomas as told by the protagonist from traumatic childhood to embittered old man fretting over the life he could have had, had he been born Alfred - his neighbour and enemy. The three ages of Thomas' life are told in fragments but so expertly woven together that the 90 minutes fly by. The film has some strange moments of fantasy to divert you and drops clues that you will need to think about carefully to fully appreciate what is going on.
