Camping Cosmos is a parody on the classical Beach Party films. Lolo Ferrari coming out of the sea as an Aphrodite with the song of Vera Lynn (Land of Hope and Glory: Belgium?) and having her first orgasm with the comic Tintin in the Congo, has been focused as a central figure but the movie handles all characters with the same interest. (In this movie she has the looks of Brigitte Bardot). Camping Cosmos has a correct balance between an astonishing script and the development of the psychology of the different caravanowners. The influence of Jacques Lacan is imminent: Sex is the little Death. Arno Hintjens and Jan Decleir as a homosexual couple are really funny. Noël Godin as the eternal pie-thrower plays a convincing Pierre Mertens. The protest of the younger generation (Eve and her boyfriend) refers to Traité du savoir-vivre à l'usage des jeunes générations by Raoul Vaneigem. The citations of Louis Scutenaire and the détournement publicitaire refer to surrealism (Marcel Mariën).
