Rank all of the Dardenne brothers film based on your preference...


Here's my list:
1. The Kid With a Bike
2. The Son
3. The Promise
4. The Child
5. The Silence of Lorna
6. Rosetta

I've only seen The Son more than once and I will be watching the rest of them soon for sure. Oh and btw I loved Rosetta and the Dardennes along with Haneke are my favorite filmmakers.

Haneke and Dardenne Brothers have alot of similaeities in their last films, and Abbas Kiarostami has also taken some elements of Haneke in his last two films, Love them..

1- The Son/Silence of Lorna
2- The child
3- Rosetta
4- The prommise
5- The Kid With a Bike

Waiting to watch their last film...

Well, unlike Haneke who tries very different approaches to very diverse themes, the Dardennes often deal with children/growing up issues, always opting for as much realism as possible. So the Dardennes films are pretty much all in the same vein. Haneke generally digs deeper and his films are more of philosophical than of social relevance. More in the Kiarostami direction. However, all of these directors have their merits :)

My ratings:

8.6 - Rosetta (1999)
8.5 - The Son (2002)
