'The rapidly ascending Belgian god Matthias Schoenaerts...' This is a fact. Thank you Nathaniel for posting this pic, made my morning. Now I have to track down this short!
"...rapidly ascending Belgian god Matthias Schoenaerts..."
You ain't kidding...
Just watched the trailer for "Death of a Shadow (Dood van een Schaduw)" and it looks beautiful. Hope it gets released theatrically with the other Oscar nominated shorts (if it gets nominated, which hopefully it does).
