A loser experiences the fulfillment of his wildest fantasies when a dramatic personality shift overtakes him in Dirty Mind, Belgian director Pieter Van Hees's (Linkeroever) contemporary Jekyll and Hyde fable. For years, Diego (Wim Helsen) has felt worthless as a human being, saddled with a palpable sense of inferiority to his popular, outgoing brother. A klutz and a perpetual reject with women, he spends his days trailing the sibling, a stuntman on movie sets. But life changes when Diego receives a violent whonk on the head, and regains consciousness as Tony T. - a self-assured freewheeler who never hesitates with women and takes a free rein in social situations. The trouble is, Tony experiences some serious impulse control issues thanks to a frontal lobe injury - issues that drop him into boiling hot water time and again and ultimately threaten to ruin the young man's life. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Andreas and Claire resume their heady sexual relationship, much to the disapproval of their loved ones.

A young woman finally decides she's had enough of people taking advantage of her and does something about it in the violent Belgian drama S.. S. (Natali Broods) is the product of a blighted childhood -- her father was a murderer who often molested her, while her mother was a prostitute who wasn't around much. Grown to adulthood, S. is a confused and angry bisexual who one day discovers her boyfriend cheating on her -- so she kills him. S. is later spurned by another one of her lovers (this one female), and soon she has gone on a crime spree, shooting people who in her mind symbolize her problems, including the manager of a sleazy peep show and a priest with physical designs on her. S. features music by the Belgian rock band dEUS; it was shown as part of the 1999 San Francisco Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
