Le Gamin Au Velo (The Kid With A Bike) - Jean-Pierre & Luc Dardenne - 2011
I've always been 50/50 with the Dardenne Brothers work. For example absolutely loved "Rosetta", disliked "Le fils" (The Son). I also thought "L'Enfant" (The Child) was an incredible film but still in need to see "Le silence de Lorna" (The Silence of Lorna). Not sure why im split with the Dardenne Brothers work because their filming style is always the same and usually deals with familiar subject matters. However, Ive always had upmost respect for them, I love the way they deal with their subject matters and the powerful messages they send out. I also believe their way of filming is extremely raw, gripping and somewhat poetic. Watched the trailer for their new film "The Kid With A Bike" today, due for release in the UK late this year/early next year. The storyline got me hooked straight away so really looking forward to seeing this film...lets see how it does if it enters Cannes Film Festival next year, another Palme D'or maybe?
