‘Toto the Hero’

Share

This 1991 Belgian film does all those exhilarating things you’ve forgotten a movie could do. Nominally the tale of an old man looking back over his life and deciding to do something about it, “Toto” is audacious in its largeness of spirit, the way it attempts to cram absolutely all of existence, the joy as well as the heartbreak, into a mere 90 minutes. Thomas Bouquet, pictured, stars for directer-screenwriter Jaco van Dormael (Bravo Monday at 8 p.m. and Tuesday at 11:30 a.m.).
