Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Jan Verheyen was Belgium's most commercially successful filmmaker in the 90s, making Alias his deliberate pivot into 'respectable' auteur cinema.
The film sparked minor controversy for its explicit sexuality, with critics noting it arrived just as Belgian cinema was pivoting away from traditional comedies toward darker European co-productions.
