the first movie from belgium director jaco van dormael be pure magic . it what cinema should always be . i have just see the movie and for the third time and on tv past midnight yesterday and i couldn not close my eye . why . because van dormael know how to tell a story . also and you become very attached to all the character and bad and good one . the cinematography give you the impression that you be dream . the camera be so light and the color be so bright so you know that the imagination of thomas and the toto from the title and be work very hard to remember exactly what happen in his childhood . if you love a good story with a very interesting plot and this be the one .
