Twice awarded Cannes’ Palme d’Or, the Dardenne Brothers have created one of humanist cinema’s greatest bodies of work, recognizable, in the words of critic J. Hoberman, by “its hectic, rough-and-ready camerawork, impeccable performances, a concern with the urban dispossessed, and an unlikely affinity for Robert Bresson; the mode might be described as spiritually infused social realism.”
In celebration of their new film TORI AND LOKITA, IFC Center revisits the Dardennes’ extraordinary tales of ordinary people struggling with work, money and love. The program includes a sneak preview of their latest film, along with the US premieres of new 4K restorations of their breakthrough LA PROMESSE, their first Palme d'Or winner ROSETTA, and the Cannes-awarded THE SON; 35mm prints of L’ENFANT, LORNA’S SILENCE and THE KID WITH A BIKE; and more.
