La promesse (1996)
Incredile Dark but narrated with Warmth
Dear CineBuffs,
This is an incredible tale of a 15 Year Old Boy street smart ways (Grâce à la Père) but somewhere there is a moral side to him that has suddenly upsurged. To me the Hero was this Boy , who has given a wonderful performance and all the characters are very believable ethced by Les Freres Dardenne. They have been able to add warmth to this Film Noir. I sees hope. If you like films by this FIlmmaker one must see the films of Shyam Benegal an Indian FIlm Maker who has made some great Films on Social Issues and Autobiographical FIlms and Dramas.Some of them are Mammo(Memoirs of a Writer's Adolescence) , Bhumika , Documentary on Satyajit Ray and of course his Great Film based on a true story Susman(The Essence) on a Saree Weaver from India.
