Lorna's Silence

Belgian brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne return with another gripping drama about a relevant social issue which they are known for. This time it's about Lorna, an Albanian woman who's married to the junkie Claudy in order to obtain citizenship thanks to cabdriver Fabio, who specializes in the deals to make money. When Claudy decides to become clean while Fabio plans to have him OD, it threatens Lorna's plans of happiness. The Dardennes' prove again that there's plenty of original and compelling stories in the society as they have proved many times. It's an astounding testament to the humanity of their films that's compelling and astonishing. Jérémie Renier and Fabrizio Rongione complete their third collaboration with the brothers who have become regulars in the Dardenne territory. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
