Date:

Dardenne Le Silence de Lorna

#21. Le Silence de Lorna

Directors/Writers:
Dardenne Bros. (see above)
Distributor: Currently Seeking Distribution

The Gist: This centers on an arranged marriage of an illegal immigrant from Albania to a drug addict.

Fact:  After La Promesse and L’Enfant – this is a third reunion between actor Jérémie Renier and the Dardennes.

See It: Like Ken Loach, the Dardennes penetrate into the personal lives of those less fortunate with compelling POVs.

Release Date/Status?: Currently filming, I expect this to play out at this year’s Cannes.
