Trilogie

Belgian writer/director/actor Lucas Belvaux (brother of Man Bites Dog auteur Rémy Belvaux) spent nearly a decade of his life making a trilogy called Trilogie, released at last in 2002. The three films (Cavale, Un Couple Epatant, Après la Vie, or On the Run, An Amazing Couple, and After the Life) all detail closely related events in an overarching storyline, presented respectively film-by-film in the guises of thriller, romantic comedy, and drama.

Since Cloverfield already contains significant elements of all three, I don't expect it to proceed quite the same way, but I'm almost always a sucker for alternate-viewpoint or alternate-reality angles within a film, and after spending a good chunk of time yesterday mulling over similar approaches to a Cloverfield sequel, I'm fascinated to hear about trans-film experiments in the same vein.

Anyone seen the Belvaux films?
