Master storytellers from Belgium Jean-Pierre & Luc Dardenne won their second Palme d'Or in Cannes with this powerful story about criminal youths. As with their previous films, the story is king and they deliver an uncompromising portrait of youth in today's Belgium where they thrive on criminal activities without any social responsibility that resonates with youths all over Europe who grow up without moral values. Jérémie Renier gives a powerful performance as Bruno who sells his newborn child without blinking. It's one of the most shocking scenes in cinema where the action speaks louder than anything said. The Dardenne brothers virtually erase the line between documentary and drama. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
