The Dardenne brothers

If there’s a dedicated thread for this, please move me over...
The Dardenne brothers are directors from Belgium, Jean-Pierre and Luc.
They've picked up plenty of awards at festivals...
It seems their entire body of work revolves around the same themes: the plight of the working class, childhood, broken homes, and those living on the fringes of society.
I suppose you could draw parallels to Ken Loach, given his similar focus on the struggles of the oppressed and disenfranchised...
The social and class divides in Belgium...
Significant films include: Promise 96, Rosetta 99, and The Son o2...
As for more recent work, there's a devastating drama starring Marion Cotillard, Two Days, One Night...

Dardenne brothers (per Wolf) sound like some Albanian mobsters 🤣

I haven't sat through much of their stuff...
But what I have seen is absolute gold. Kid with a Bike, Rosetta, and The Son.
Hard to say which one hits harder...
They really are masters at those gritty social dramas...

Thanks for the correction. It wasn't by Wolf, just a typo on my keyboard...
Film buffs know the Dardenne brothers... they're critical darlings.
Appreciate you...
