“
...'...'King of the Belgians' is a delightful, surprisingly respectful ribbing of the incongruity of monarchy, Belgium, and the Balkans.'
Variety
“
...'"...feather-light pseudo-mockumentary road movie..."'

Director's Statement
“
"An Icelandic volcano erupted and an idea was born"
"Let’s drop a Belgian King in Istanbul, stir up a natural disaster, spark a political crisis and then launch him on a homeward overland journey, incognito, that features trip-ups, show-downs and moments of grace. Displacement as the essence of comedy...'King Of The Belgians' is road movie about a wayward monarch profoundly lost in the Balkans."
