This research paper: A 3 page research paper that reports on the style of these two Belgian directors. The Dardenne brothers, Jean-Pierre and Luc, of Belgium, began their film careers by producing documentaries for television in the late 1970s (Camhl). Their films La Promesse and Rosetta were motivated by the desire to educate the public as to the "things of the present" (Camhl). In La Promesse, the directors picture a "moral universe in disorder," where a young boy has to make a traumatic choice between loyalty to his father, a black marketeer who exploits immigrant labor, and his own first stirrings of conscience (Camhl). As this suggests, La Promesse is a "moral fable" (Dargis). It is delivered in a neo-realistic style that pictures the adolescent protagonist disobeying his criminally-oriented father in order to aid an illegal immigrant and her child (Dargis). Bibliography lists 4 sources.
