Plot summary

The Brussels Business is a docu-thriller that dives into the grey zone underneath European democracy. An expedition into the world of the 15,000 lobbyists in the EU-capital, of the PR-conglomerates, think tanks and their all embracing networks of power and their close ties to the political elites.

Lobbying, I got it. Yeah? Lots of talk

Lobbying, I got it. Yeah? Lots of talk about crimes but 90 minutes of hot air with no evidence and not much reason to pay attention before the credits start rolling. The 2 stars are for the architecture shots. I'd like my $4 rental fee refunded.

The European Union/Commission was set up after WWII

The European Union/Commission was set up after WWII for trade (Common Trade) but it's become a political monster controlled by Lobbyists, Corporate bodies and the Elite.

'Smart' movie of the dumb people

I started into this documentary with great interest as I lived in Brussels for quite some time and got to know the 'Brussels bubble' a bit closer than most viewers in the world. But sadly, I did not get to like it, and my interest fell pretty soon.If I have to characterise 'The Brussels Business', it's like a 'smart' movie of the dumb people, comparable to how an infamous brexiteer politician is often characterised as the "smart person of the dumb people" (Britons know who I mean :) ).The Brussels Business seems more of a propaganda movie with subtle intonations and subconscious suggestions to put reality in a different light. The movie itself is not a sci-fi, and shows a lot of real person and facts, just in a light that changes reality.
