L'enfant


This movie, already on DVD, is now playing at the Fine Arts. It won the Grand Prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 2005. It's about a young couple, at the bottom of Belgian society. They have a baby. He decides to sell it in the black market, in order to get some cash(he is a petty thief). I won't explain what happens later, but this is a grueling movie to watch. It's a powerful movie and it feels very real. And the ending is the kind that will have people talking. It's a movie about redemption or maybe it isn't. You decide. Anyway, it's worth a look.
