Lorna's Silence

 

aka: Le Silence de Lorna
Belgium / France / Italy 2007, 105 minutes
Dir. Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne
In French with English subtitles
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama / Gangsters

 

Aroview: Further tales of hardship from the Cannes-winning Dardenne brothers, concerning the plight of an Albanian woman seeking Belgian citizenship through dubious and dangerous means.

Imprinted with the duo’s resolute minimalism and steadfast compassion for those living on the social margins, this is typically downbeat yet hopeful filmmaking, powered by a transfixing lead performance (Dobroshi). Of note is the brother’s increasing penchant for thriller conventions and twists, which manifest here through some riveting plot developments and turns.
