    The Dardenne brothers' first masterpiece. Raw, intense and socially relevant, just like everything they would do later on their careers. An experience recommendable to anyone who believes in films that plumb the murkiest depths of the human condition.

    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.
