Splashy debut by Belgian director Jaco Van Dormael, a switched-at-birth fable about an embittered old man (Michel Bouquet) who's convinced that another man has taken his rightful life. His, so to call it, "wrongful" life is recounted nonsequentially (using three other actors: baby, child, and young adult), and with all manner of comical, lyrical, and surrealistic liberties. The web of events not only fails to persuade us that the protagonist never had a life of his own (a life of extraordinary coincidence, if nothing else), but fails to persuade us even that he felt that way about it. (1991) — Duncan Shepherd
