The Son

The Son

  • Jean-Pierre Dardenne, Luc Dardenne
  • 2002
  • 1h 39m
  • Belgium, France

In the years when the Dardenne brothers were front-runners for the Palme d'Or whenever they went to Cannes,"Son" was their approach to the psychological drama, with the agonizing development of a relationship between the two, seemingly unknown, main characters. A great and awarded performance by Olivier Gourmet.

Synopsis

Who is this boy, Francis? And if Olivier refused to accept him as an apprentice in his carpentry shop, why has he started following him through the corridors of the training center, the streets, his home? Why is she so interested in him? Why does he seem so afraid of him?
