I just get into Lodewijk Crijns’ work, following the advice of a StripTease (franco-belgian documentary series) fan.
These films are really hard to find, as they had never been released. They have only been broadcasted on dutch TV, and later in france.

Here is the synopsis for Lap rouge (Thanks to Imdb):
The camera pursues the life of two Dutch brothers, Herman and Egbert over the course of several months. Their mother wanted to disassociate herself from the petty bourgeois atmosphere in Holland during the fifties. In 1959 she took her two boys and left for Marnhac, a deserted village in southern France. After living in France for the the next 35 years both brothers have become almost fully alienated from society. They don’t have the courage to leave their very aged and dominant mother.

And here is Kutzooi, a later film from Crijns:

Everyone knows Sparks is one of the coolest band ever (if you don’t then trust me), but you need to see this TV appearance they did during the promotion of their Pulling Rabbits Out Of A Hat album back in 1984 (great cover art by the way). In my opinion, the title track is one of their most powerful and addictive songs.
At this time Ron had already given up with his toothbrush moustache but was still looking great and you can see Russell at his best wearing one of his awesome oversized costumes.

About his brother’s moustache, Russell once stated in a interview “In retrospect, probably another mistake. He probably regrets it. When he did it, he was quite naive – he thought he was copying Charlie Chaplin. We went to France to do a TV show and the presenter refused to go on with us so we had to pull out. At that point he decided the shape of one’s facial hair shouldn’t cause so much controversy so he changed it to a pencil-style one. We like controversy and provocation but not in that way.“
