Luc Dardenne
Brothers Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne (born 10 March 1954), collectively referred to as the Dardenne brothers, are a Belgian filmmaking duo. They write, produce, and direct their films together. Their work tends to reflect left-wing themes and points-of-view in contemporary Europe. They also own the production company Les Films du Fleuve. The Dardennes began making narrative and documentary films in the late 1970s. They came to international attention in the mid-1990s with La Promesse. They won their first major international film prize when Rosetta won the Palme d'Or at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival. In 2005, they won the Palme d'Or a second time for their film L'Enfant, putting them in a small club, at the time, of only seven filmmakers to ever win twice. Lorna's Silence (2008), won the Best Screenplay prize at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival.
