Lorna's Silence

There is little to say, the Dardenne brothers' filmography is one of the peaks of contemporary cinema. Total natural perfect recitations, stories unparalleled ... But above all it is their exploration of the human capacity that is unparalleled and unique. Their films have the simplicity of form and substance of the inscrutable. Also this time, with Le Silence de Lorna , the two authors-Belgian artisans have created a work relentlessly, forcing the viewer to be followed from first to last shot. The narrative has an extraordinary strength, and his bewitching power comes, as always in the cinema of Dardenne, from the ellipse: it is the reluctance on the past of the characters, their identities or their purposes, to fuel the tension that dark, strong, is perceived behind the few lines of dialogue or long silences. So when the film has not said much of what is said, and at the same time the process is apparently simple: to bring the viewer in the middle of events, get him to the scene. And so the camera is never fixed, the light is natural, there are few editing cuts, and so on ... Un'autorialità so strong, apparently without styles. A miracle. But it takes little to realize that you are clearly seeing a film by Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, because the theme of work, saving the dignity that comes from it, is another constant in their movies. Just as attention to the marginalized, those living on the edge of what is called the "Company" means those persons with the two filmmakers spend more and his heart, making it an unforgettable portraits, deep and sincere. It 'a look of honesty and piety, rare today, and all the more necessary and valuable.
