PUNQ

Rated 20 May 2014

An example of Belgian cinema before the first World War. A nicely done simple production. The story in itself is not that remarkable. About a man who is wrongly accused of stealing, getting turned away by everything and decides to go away to Congo and fight jungle animals. While away they find out he didn't do anything wrong and try to locate the poor bastard. Not that thrilling apart from fighting that big pussy cat but it well enough acted to become pleasant viewing for a 50 minute 1913 drama.
