The Wild West) is a 1973 Belgian-French comedy film starring and directed by Jacques Brel.

It was entered into the 1973 Cannes Film Festival, where it was nominated for the Palme d'Or.

Jacques, a 40-year-old citizen of Brussels, meets the fakir, Abracadabra who, before dying, gives him a special power.

The two companions and other new friends set out to conquer the wild west, their childhood - just as Voltaire sought Eldorado, and Saint-Exupéry the unknown planet.

The wild west they seek cannot be found, because it is an imaginary place, a piece of happiness buried in our hearts.
