Ghost Tropic

Belgium/Netherlands | 2019 | Bas Devos

Bas (Violet) Devos’ dreamy new film was one of the best movies streamed in this year’s Cleveland Int’l Film Festival. One night after work, a 58-year-old cleaning woman living in Brussels falls asleep on the last subway train, missing her stop and waking up at the end of the line. Forced to walk home, she embarks on a nocturnal odyssey that’s surprisingly short on menace and long on poetry and humanity as she encounters a variety of urban night owls. “Stunning…A delicate miniature that’s magnificently humanist, occasionally amusing and shot in a palette of rich, saturated nighttime hues.” –Holllywood Reporter. Subtitles. 85 min.
