A Promise La promesse, 1996

I used to think about something like this: Isn't it right for the Darney brothers to win the Palme d'Or twice?
Why? Because they are brothers! Not only the Dane brothers, but also the Coen brothers and the Taviani brothers should take twice as much as others, because they are two people! In general, this is indeed the case. For example, the Coen brothers have won the best picture, the best director, the best this and the best, and the Darney brothers have won almost all awards in...

promise

you are my son. I do it all for you.

The righteous father in front of Igor has no father's image. He was chained to one leg by his son, and the fifteen-year-old was determined to fulfill one of his promises.
Don't call me Dad, call me Roger. This is what my father said. Every time he honked his horn and made every phone call, his son, who was an apprentice in the garage, could immediately drop his job, ignore the threat of his master's dismissal, and follow his father back to...

I can't lie to my heart

Most of the people in this society are striving for material satisfaction. How much have we lost for it? Can the satisfaction of others satisfy our own hearts? What you have done can never deceive yourself, is it worth losing all your spiritual satisfaction for material things? The protagonist in the play does something that looks like a fool, but he will no longer have a mental burden in his life, or he will be much better than the liar. Everyone thinks that positive energy is great and...

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...
