The Dardenne brothers have already won numerous awards at the Cannes Film Festival, including two Palme d’Or. Suffice to say that the cinema of Belgian directors is particularly appreciated by the Cannes public, and we can expect them to leave with a prize next Saturday. If they win the supreme award, they would become the first filmmakers to win 3 Palmes d’Or.

A film by the Dardenne brothers is often carefully scrutinized at the Cannes Film Festival. Indeed, they have been rewarded several times on the Croisette. In 1999 they received the Palme d’or for their film “Rosetta”, then again six years later for “L’Enfant”. In 2008, “Le silence de Lorna” allowed them to win the screenplay prize before winning the grand prize for “Le gamin au vélo” in 2011. Finally, in 2019, they received the directing prize for “Le Young Ahmad”. That makes five awards at Cannes for Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, including two Palme d’Or.

Before climbing the steps of the Cannes Film Festival, the Dardenne brothers spoke about their film in competition, “Tori and Lokita”, at the microphone of TV Festival this Tuesday, May 24, 2022. “We continue to observe what is happening, we read the newspapers and we listen to people, and we say to ourselves ‘how can a news item become a moral fable?’, that’s what interests us”, specifies Jean-Pierre Dardenne to explain their creative process. “Tori and Lokita” highlights the reality experienced by exiled children, who are the two protagonists of their films. “These are children who come from Africa because they hope for a better life in Europe”, initially details Luc Dardenne. His brother, Jean-Pierre, adds: “The conditions are cruel, of course, but what we try to show in this film is how friendship resists that. I think this film can break down certain prejudices. ” The feature film will be released in cinemas in France on September 28, 2022.
