La Promesse (1996)

Igor, aged 15, and his father Roger deal in housing and peddling illicit labor in the outlying districts of Liege, Belgium. Scams, lies and swindling rule their lives. When one of his father's illegal workers gets injured on the job and asks Igor to promise to take care of his wife and baby, Igor finds himself at a crossroad. He wants to keep the promise, but the price would be to betray his father.

A simple film with philosophic ideas and of human relationship.Dardenne brothers' debut film has some interesting premises about father-son relationship, migration problems in Europe, interaction between people of different race and creeds and starts from there with the director's signature handheld cameraworks. But the film arrived to some cliches at the middle when we would see the good-old black exploitation and hatred from whites,their unity only within their race in 20th century.From then the film suffered dragging a bit and near to the end, the boy's realization of his father's selfish cruelty and his confession to the struggling wife saves the film from being a outdated. Though this one one also consists of some unsung relationship like other of their films. From that point of view,only the boy's morality is not justified to convince his character but his affection and coming of age characteristics are responsible largely on that matter.

LETTERBOX. Buena película que sabe dónde está su denuncia y su sensibilidad, pero que se inclina acaso demasiado hacia esa "verdad de contables" de la que habla Herzog. La puesta en escena es magnífica. / Good movie that knows where its denunciation and its sensibility are, but that perhaps is a bit too inclined to tell that "accountant's truth" Herzog speaks of. The mise en scene is magnificent.

A troubling, offbeat and somewhat downbeat drama with no easy answers, with a stark, realistic style and some very good performances.

?La Promesse?, from the makers of ?Rosetta?, is an award winning drama which gets down to business quickly. The film is shot with no frills and the hard edge of a documentary. It tells of a father and son, both of questionable character, who make their living on the backs of transient illegal aliens in Belgium and the schism which developes between them as they engage a serious matter of conscience. Viewers with an appetite for reality in film will extol this flick while fantasy lovers may hate its grit.

Excellent film from Belgium. Very gritty and almost surreal. Love the way it was shot.
