Review of Rosetta (1999) by Aidan H — 17 Apr 2012
One of the Dardennes' peaks, for sure. Rosetta is a fully realized character, and the Dardennes infuse her with such energy through both the writing and the closely following camera, not to mention the fine performance from Duquenne.
The desire for normalcy through work and a proper home is a universal one. The Dardennes understate Rosetta's motivations (and everyone else's), leaving people's actions mysterious. The surprising encounters that result are alternately heartbreaking and joyful.
