Son, The
Aroview: Finding the perfect subject for their pared down visual aesthetic, the Bros. Dardenne follow up the Cannes-winning ROSETTA with an ostensibly simple yet masterful work that chips away its narrative of subtle revelations.
Bonding themes of loss, forgiveness and the dignity of labour, a carpentry teacher at a rehabilitation centre is curiously drawn to the young man he at first rejects as a student, their innate connection prompting an ambiguous and morally complex study of human emotions.
