Kuifje: De Zonnetempel, De Musical

Registration of the 2001 Belgian musical, based on two of The Adventures of Tintin by Hergé. An expedition of seven scientists, the Sanders-Hardiman expedition, discovers the tomb of the Incan mummy Rascar Capac and provokes the anger of the Sun God. A curse descends upon them. Meanwhile, Kuifje and Bobbie arrive on the train at Molensloot, and Kuifje talks to another traveller about the recent return of the expedition from Peru. He says that all will end badly, desecrating the burial chambers of the Incas like Tutankhamen's – five members of the expedition have already been mysteriously struck down.

Directed by Frank Van Laecke, Serge Bellens, Kuifje: De Zonnetempel, De Musical leans on a strong ensemble — Tom Van Landuyt, Zohra, Henk Poort — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 2002.
