Bruxelles-Transit (Samy Szlingerbaum, 1982) DVDRIP

Bruxelles-transit (1980), shown in the U.S. as Brussels Transit, is a semi-documentary written and directed by Samy Szlingerbaum.

The director's parents and sibling came to Brussels as refugees from Poland after WW II. The story of their experiences after leaving Poland is narrated--in Yiddish--by Szlingerbaum's mother in voice-over. In the first part of the film, the mother relates her experiences traveling by train from Lodz, Poland to Paris and finally to Brussels. On the screen, we see film clips of trains and train stations in modern-day Brussels.

In the second part of the film, Szlingerbaum's mother relates her experiences as a young wife and mother in an alien city. No one we see is actively cruel to her, but there's a tremendous sense of loneliness and alienation in her narrative. During the narration, actors portray the action as told to us by Szlingerbaum's mother. The scenes unfold in a static, almost dreamlike fashion. The photography is in black and white, and the actors are always seen in middle distance.
