Being Belgian, we always hate it when the Dutch do something better than us. Well, Jeroen Krabbe is both an actor and a director for which we have difficulty finding a match. Left Luggage is a movie about a girl (Chaya, played by the immensely beautiful Laura Fraser) that becomes a nanny in a ultra-orthodox family of Jews. Both her and the family need some adjusting to each other, but in the end they become very close and she is accepted into the family. Both her own parents as the father of the children she's supposed to watch have difficulties letting the past go, and the movie tells this in a subtle way.And of course, disaster strikes in the end, though in an unexpected way.
I'm not going to tell you the content of the movie, but it is very emotional, very gripping.
Try it. I give it an 8.
