When the list of filmmakers who would compete this year for the palm d’or<\/strong>I was glad to find the name of James Gray<\/strong>its fifth opportunity in the Official Section, and it seemed somewhat depressing to me that the Dardenne<\/strong> compete again, confirming that whatever they do, they are guaranteed a privileged space at the Cannes Festival. During the closing gala, my feelings were very different: I breathed a sigh of relief knowing that the American was forgotten in the list of winners and I applauded the award for the Belgians.<\/p>\n

‘Tori et Lokita’ (Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne)<\/h2>\n

The Dardenne brothers return to Cannes three years after winning the award for best screenplay with ‘Young Ahmed’, a film that seemed half-made to me, with a rather clumsy resolution. His new job, ‘Tori and Lokita<\/strong>‘, has at first glance the appearance of social pornodrama, the tragedy of two immigrant brothers<\/strong> struggling to survive in Belgium, desperate to earn some money, with the only balm of their company. And as soon as they start it becomes clear that their bond is in danger, so they won’t even have that left…<\/p>\n
