About The bus
"It's a very simple story, shot in a quiet street in Brussels. People waiting for the bus that is late, talking to each other, trusting each other, talking about the weather and giving each other practical tips. It is life as it is, in its troubling banality, that Van Antwerpen shows us. " (Luc Honorez, Le Soir, 1974).
Directed by Patrick Van Antwerpen, The bus leans on a strong ensemble — Jean-Marie Buchet, Adeline Liebman, Jean-Marie Degèsves — 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 screen titles of 1973.
