Barefoot Emperor, The [Subtitled] [Plays May 15-23 as part of the MSPIFF39 Redefined: A Virtual Film Festival; for more information, log on to mspfilm.org/festivals/mspiff.] When the milquetoast Belgian king (Peter Van den Begin) suffers a head injury after being shot near his ear in Sarajevo on his way home from Istanbul and ends up with his faithful entourage (Bruno Georis, Lucie Debay, Titus de Voogdt, et al.) on a beautiful Croatian island at a sanatorium run by an oddball, manipulative, controlling doctor (Udo Kier) in this bizarre, nonsensical, political, satirical, 99-minute, 2019 comedy sequel to the 2016 The King of the Belgians highlighted by striking cinematography and filled with wacky characters (Geraldine Chaplin, Darko Stazi, et al.), he learns that the European union has collapsed, the European parliament has been disbanded, and surprisingly he is then named the new emperor for all of Europe.
