Back in the 90's, the Dardenne brothers already won the Golden Palm with 'Rosetta' but, personally, I found that this movie ather underwhelming, probably the least appealing movie they made so far as a matter of fact. Still, theyare one of few directors who managed to win twice the Golden Palm and I was really curious to see if the second time around, they did actually deserve this prestigious awa... read more

Description: Bruno and Sonia are boy friend and girl friend, playful, immature. She's still in her teens; they chase each other, share cigarettes, spray sodas and wrestle. The thing is, they also have a new baby. Just out of hospital, Sonia seeks out Bruno to bring him his son. Bruno's indifferent. In the grimy Belgian city of Seraing, he's a pett ... (more)

Hän haluaisi selvästi vain jatkaa samaan malliin, varastella elääkseen ja nauttia yhdessäolosta tyttöystävänsä kanssa, eikä h"
