Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Writer-director brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne are featured with a focus on their film "L'Enfant" ("The Child"). The two honed their filmmaking skills on intense political documentaries in the late 1970s and 80s, but are now producing intimate explorations of individuals grappling with moral quandries. Although the protagonist of "L'Enfant" is somewhat repellent, they deal with him with bemusement and compassion. The casting process and close relationships with actors are important in their style.
