About Toto the Hero
80-year-old Thomas recounts his childhood and middle age through a series of flashbacks and dream sequences. Thomas believes he’s been taken away from a better life at birth; following a hospital fire, he vividly recalls being swapped with another new-born, and subsequently grows up in a poorer neighbouring household.
Directed by Jaco Van Dormael, Toto the Hero leans on a strong ensemble — Michel Bouquet, Thomas Godet, Gisela Uhlen — 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 drama titles of 1991.
