Description:This is the breakthrough feature from Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne (THE KID WITH A BIKE), who would go on to become a force in world filmmaking. The brothers brought the unerring eye for detail and the compassion for those on society's lowest rungs developed in their earlier documentary work to this absorbing drama about a teenager (SUMMER HOURS' Jirimie Renier) gradually coming to understand the implications of his father's making a living off of illegal alien workers. Filmed in the Dardennes' industrial hometown of Seraing, Belgium, LA PROMESSE is a brilliantly economical and observant tale of a boy's troubled moral awakening.
"La Promesse" on Blu-Ray from the Criterion Collection is a powerful and critically acclaimed Belgian drama directed by Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne. The film tells the gripping story of Igor, a teenager caught between loyalty to his father and his own developing conscience when they become involved in the exploitation of undocumented immigrants. This edition features a high-definition digital restoration, insightful interviews, and exclusive essays that delve into the film?s social impact. The Criterion Collection is renowned for its meticulous restorations and authoritative editions of classic and contemporary cinema, making this release essential for cinephiles. The Dardenne brothers are celebrated auteurs known for their realistic storytelling style; their films "Rosetta" (Palme d'Or winner at Cannes), "The Child," and "Two Days, One Night" have garnered international acclaim. Jérémie Renier delivers an outstanding performance as Igor?his career includes notable roles in "L'Enfant" and François Ozon's "L'Amant Double." Olivier Gourmet also stars; he later won Best Actor at Cannes for "Le Fils." Together with Assita Ouedraogo?s moving portrayal, these talents bring depth to this unforgettable work.
