Press:
"Four Roses is a provocative, black and white drama exploring themes
of isolation, love, and being." Anna J. Takayama from the European
Independent Film Festival 

"... truly unique and a step forward in the
art form" 'writer/director De Meester, had a clear vision" Eric
Shlapack from Tucson Film Industry Examiner 

"an early Jim Jarmusch"
Anemoon Soete & Bart Bruneel from Schamper 

"one of the most succesfull
no-budget films ever" Kevin Verhoeven from Supo 

"Four Roses is a
superb example of indie filmmaking. The characters are so engaging
that you completely forget about the lack of budget. Then, when it's
over, and you reflect on the budgetary restrictions the director had
to work with, your admiration for the film increases tenfold." Erich
Schultz from the Cannes Independent Film Festival
