The films of the Darney brothers have only one function for me, and that is to constantly refresh the TOP...

Immigration, race, family, a promise... The unpretentious surface contains a very explosive emotion, and I believe it is what the Darney brothers are best at. The classic narrative structure and solid script make this emotion even more contagious. . The photography is excellent, and several long shots are very sensational. Sometimes not saying a word is the biggest...

The second half of the script is not as polished as the first half, but the technical ruthlessness makes up for it. Natural light, long shots, no soundtrack, and handheld photography, the result of combining these four techniques into one is the elimination of techniques, leaving only a grey Belgian town. And the most decisive element is actually Jérémie Renier. Just looking at his Apollo-blessed blond hair, I'll never be able to say something stupid like "this is a realism...

It marks the mature work of the Darney brothers' style, and it is nirvana compared to I Think You four years ago. Not to mention the shooting technique, the script level alone is moving enough. The collapse of the patriarchy, the growth through the murder of the father. There are also expressions of human nature. Not to mention the concern about the living conditions of illegal immigrants and illegal workers, which has been leading the world for 15 years. It all adds up to make the film still...

There is no escape, this is me - the opening film of the Darney Brothers film retrospective. The 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Belgium. Too heavy, too much smoke! Iggy's father sucks! Extremely irresponsible. Boys are inherently good, and when they grow up, they must be guided by a good father who dares to take responsibility, otherwise they will harm others and themselves! It's not my favorite movie, I hope it won't be like this in the next few...

The decadent youth turns to moral adherence. 1. The famous works of the Darney brothers who established the theme and style: realism caring about the situation of the lower-level characters, hand-held photography, natural sound and light, rough texture, and no show of skill. 2. Focus on illegal immigration and racial discrimination. 3. The crushed statues are connected, but when will the rift between father and son, the gap between the rich and the poor and the class gap be bridged? 4. If a...

The close presentation is another kind of isolation and refusal to enter. The physical distance can be shortened, but the image does not penetrate the appearance, on the contrary, it shows the generation and automatic writing of the appearance. I can't enter the character's psychology, because there is no long-term fixed shot or follow-up (a common mode), but I can feel the emotion generation of a comprehensive prior judgment, and I really feel that psychology is unbearably light to existential...

The 1234th part as a commemoration is the Darnay brothers who have not seen it all the time. There are no superfluous adjectives, I just want to make a movie like...

Without much skill, the camera follows behind the characters, restoring the bottom life of illegal immigrants from Asia, Africa and Latin America. The two fathers and sons represent the exploiting class, and after the son's commitment, the characters begin to become confusing. Behind the accusation is the hopeful gaze of the Darney...
