Striptease on the big screen
Launched in Belgium in 1985, striptease is a documentary television program created by Jean Libon and Marco Lamenchi and shows moments of everyday life in which viewers can identify themselves.
For more than thirty-five years, the program, without interviews or voiceovers, offered to “undress France and Belgium”. become iconic striptease took his influence from Italian social comedy sketches and wrote television history. The show ended in 2012.
The creators managed to make funny out of sometimes tragic situations. And Poulet Frites is a worthy successor. We allow ourselves to be immersed in a Belgian social tragedy, sometimes cruel, sometimes funny, but always sincere.
