Docteur Loiseau: la solution finale

In rural Belgium, a police inspector investigates a series of murders that may be connected to sinister supernatural forces.

A cinematographic “cadavre exquis”, whose entrails reveal the odd nature of a (un)certain Belgian cinema. Authors, directors, actors who have proved that imposture could be an act of creation. Convinced that any so-called “new” cinematographic production was in fact a rehash of what had already been made, these pirates of images snuck as forgers, liars, tricksters, usurpers, … Outlaws of the cinema who falsified its form. From the filmed imposture of Man Bites Dog to Jan Bucquoy’s fabulist biopic, everything participates in the dynamiting of institutional language through simulacrum and absurdity. This free journey in the “cine-belgitude” has for vocation to approach these marvellous eccentrics followers of a overexcited and stripping situationism.

The incorrigible Stalinist Bolshevik Igor Yaboutich is determined to destroy the Christian West with the ultimate weapon of mass destruction: the atomic bomb! Charleroi, renamed Karminsky Grad for the occasion, is where this diabolical plan will be carried out.

Chaos breaks out. The situation seems uncontrollable for the Chinese, Arab, Russian, and German leaders, who are all united here against the Americans. Only Igor Yaboutich remains standing in this city of madness. Will he unleash a new world war?

The third and final film in Jean-Jacques Rousseau's trilogy L'histoire du cinéma 16 (The History of Cinema 16).
