carnival in flanders this a clever and charming film that depict the womenfolk of a flemish village win over spanish invader . the mayor wife rally the woman to use all their power and resource to seduce the spaniard and it work . there be some very funny moment involve the vigil for the deceased mayor ( especially when the court midget blackmail him ) . most film about the 17th century be pretty stodgy and but carnival be delight . i recommend this film .
