They are inseparable.

Their cinema is unique.

Always two behind the camera, the Belgian brothers Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne have already won two Palmes d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

From their international breakthrough with “Rosetta” to “Tori and Lokita” which has just been released in theaters, each of their films is much more than a film.

With an apparent and breathtaking simplicity, these masters of reality in XXL manage to show us the flaws in our society and encourage us to act.

In a word, a gesture and a silence, they tell us about their approach to the seventh art.
