Jimi is a young man living in the Brussels’ neighbourhood of Cité Modèle. After a package belonging to a woman residing in the neighbouring apartment block is mistakenly delivered to his address, Jimi attempts to hand it personally to its rightful owner. Only she is never in. As time passes, Jimi’s desire to deliver the parcel turns into an obsession. From its deceptively simple starting point, Etangs Noirs (named after the Brussels metro station), evolves into a hugely compelling and, at times, fascinatingly inscrutable venture, quite unlike anything else. Finding understated tension in the seemingly mundane and subtle foreboding in the everyday, co-directors Pieter Dumoulin and Timeau De Keyser preside over their subject matter with masterful control, always keeping the viewer in a state of intangible unease.
