The small Belgian community of Vitrival, with a population of around 1,500, finds itself with a much higher profile these days. That is courtesy of Vitrival — The Most Beautiful Village in the World, the debut feature from Belgian writers-directors Noëlle Bastin, who grew up there, and Baptiste Bogaert. If you wonder what to expect, well, the movie, which world premiered at the Rotterdam Film Festival earlier this year, doesn’t fit neatly into traditional cinematic categories. Is it comedic? Definitely, as its depictions of small-town life in a real-life Belgian village will make you chuckle. Does it have dramatic elements?…
