Seagulls Die in the Harbour

Overview

A pessimistic urban drama, with a musical score by Jack Sels and Max Damasse, charts in strongly expressionistically lit black-and-white images the wanderings of a tormented man through the cosmopolitan port city of Antwerp. The only people to show him understanding are an orphan and two disillusioned women.

Directed by Ivo Michiels, Rik Kuypers, Roland Verhavert
