About The Joke
A young man is a bit drunk and decides by way of a joke to rob the local gas station to scare a girl who tends the station whom he fancies. Things take a bad turn and he's arrested for real. Nobody seems to believe he was only kidding.
Directed by Wim Telders, The Joke leans on a strong ensemble — Sylvain Michiel, Josée Schroyens, Alfons Vaerenbergh — 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 1968.
