The brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne have established an
international reputation for their emotionally powerful realist
cinema. Inspired by their home turf of Li?ge-Seraing, a former
industrial hub of French-speaking southern Belgium, they have
crafted a series of fiction films that blends acute observation of
life on the social margins with moral fables for the postmodern
age. This volume analyses the brothers' career from their leftist
video documentaries of the 1970s and 1980s through their debut as
directors of fiction films in the late 1980s and early 1990s to
their six major achievements from The Promise (1996) to The Kid
with a Bike (2011), an oeuvre that includes two Golden Palms at the
Cannes film festival, for Rosetta (1999) and The Child (2005). It
argues that the ethical dimension of the Dardennes' work
complements rather than precludes their sustained expression of a
fundamental political sensibility.
