Don't tell me that! Now I'll never watch another one of their films.

For something similar try the Death of Mr Lazerescu.

The scene where he's listening to them count the money from underground is sterling, along with the last-reel chase.

Also achingly better: Lorna's Silence, though not really enough to convince me that the Dardennes are among the foremost filmmakers of our era.

plz see The Son
Watched The Son tonight and was genuinely, deeply affected by it. The best thing I've seen in a long time. I'm a big Bresson fan, and these guys carry the torch well. What next?

L'Enfant was incredible. Don't get the criticism of the final two sequences as they very nearly broke me down. And that hanging question about Bruno's motivation doesn't make it go down so easily. Genuine act of redemption or simply the best option for an increasingly walled-in kid with dangerous men after him?
Looking forward to seeing the rest of their films. These guys hit me pretty hard.

Rosetta is their masterpiece and one of the best films in the last couple of decades.

Just watched La Promesse a couple nights ago. Far less stoic than Le Fils, but even more bleak, with Olivier Gourmet (the lead in Le Fils) playing a truly despicable immigrant smuggler and Jeremie Réniér (the lead in L'enfant) portraying his son with really believable emotion.

Watched The Unknown Girl tonight, it was good if not one of their best. I liked the central character’s non-judgmental view of others. There is an everyday quality about all of their films that is appealing, we are in turn observing the protagonists and seeing the world through their eyes. Adèle Haenel (who I previously saw in Water Lilies, BPM: Beats Per Minute, and Portrait of a Lady on Fire) was fantastic
