Review of La Promesse (1996) by Codie E — 05 Dec 2008
The first film to really put the Dardenne brothers on the map shows everything that was to follow. Character driven stories of great moral dilemmas and life changing situations. This particular film feels quite close to the work of Ken Loach, to which the brothers and their cast give a beautifully judged level of humanity to characters that could easily have been demonised.
Excellent technicals too.
