Cast Josse De Pauw Michael Pas Amid Chakir Geert Hunaerts Gene Bervoets Florence Beliard Controversy When it was first released, first time director Dominique Deruddere's film divided critics and audiences. Some reviewers noted the quality of the photography and set design and acting. Others focused on the unacceptable nature of the film's subject. On its American release, the film was championed by Madonna, Sean Penn and Francis Ford Coppola. Ultimately it proved too controversial for mass acceptance, and never received wide recognition. It is now considered by some to be one of the classic films of world cinema from the 1980s.
