WATCHobscureWomen Behind Bars
1975 · France/BE · 75m
Franco women-in-prison, made fast and cheap. On the list for the category rather than the content.
The films

WATCHcultDaughters of Darkness
1971 · France/Germany · 100m
Elizabeth Báthory in an empty Ostend hotel out of season, and it is the most elegant vampire film ever made.
WATCHknownMan Bites Dog
1992 · BE · 95m
A Belgian film crew follow a serial killer and gradually start holding the equipment for him.
WATCHknownRevenge
2017 · France/BE · 108m
Reworks the structure with the assault largely off screen, which removes nothing it needs.
WATCHknownClimax
2018 · France/BE · 97m
A dance troupe, spiked sangria, and Gaspar Noé's camera refusing to cut. Unbearable by design.
WATCHknownMandy
2018 · USA/BE · 121m
Nicolas Cage, a chainsaw duel and Jóhann Jóhannsson's last score. Not for everyone and not trying to be.
WATCHknownRaw
2016 · France/BE · 99m
A vegetarian vet student develops an appetite. Julia Ducournau's debut and a genuine coming-of-age film.
WATCHknownVivarium
2019 · Ireland/BE · 97m
A young couple cannot leave a show home. Bleak, airless, and about mortgages.
WATCHcanonTitane
2021 · France/BE · 108m
Won the Palme d'Or. A film about a woman, a car and a grieving fireman, and it is not a comedy.
