Starring: Jeremie Renier, Deborah Francois
Directed by: Luc Dardenne, Jean-Pierre Dardenne
----Spoilers included-------
Movie starts with a young mother Sonia, played by Déborah François, with a new-born baby searching on the streets for her boy friend Bruno, played by Jérémie Renier, the father of her child. As plot thickens, we will see the day to day life of Brunos, a low-level thief, panhandler, and slacker who refuse to work & believe in steeling & begging but not working & support his girlfriend by illegal means. Right from the first meeting, Bruno, never shows any kind of interest in the baby or in the fatherhood. In a confused & without any conscience, he sells the baby in the black market. After knowing that Sonia reacts with shock & violently & rejects him completely. Bruno bring the baby back to Sonia but he losses many things & we will see his slow transformation. It is kind of movie where it is highly impossible for the audience to accept & love the characters. Both Bruno & Sonia were energetic & did amazing job & acting was very natural. Movie was very realistic & thoughtful & heavy without any soundtrack and interesting cinematography. This is my first Dardenne Brothers film and I enjoyed it. I missed their earlier movie “Rosetta”. I simply returned the DVD to netflix after keeping four weeks because of busy schedules. Now again I will put it back in to my queue. The DVD comes with very good & in-depth interview with movie directors& their thoughts on movie & how this movie idea was born etc. Must for serious moviegoers.
