L-aħwa Dardenne jerġgħu juru lill-udjenzi il-vera stampa li tmiss il-qalb tal-ħajja reali b’film drama soċjo-realistiku reċenti tagħhom Young Mothers, li rebaħ il-premju Best Screenplay Prize f’Cannes aktar kmieni din is-sena.

Il-qofol tal-film jitratta fuq ħames ommijiet adoloxxenti li jgħixu flimkien f’dar ta’ appoġġ għall-ommijiet fil-Belġju, fejn jintwera ċar l-isfidi li jiffaċċjaw dawn in-nisa żgħażagħ li jgħixu fuq jew viċin il-marġini tas-soċjetà. Id-diretturi qattgħu żmien f’waħda minn dawn il-faċilitajiet immexxija mill-istat fil-pajjiż tagħhom biex jirriċerkaw kif taħdem, in-nies li jibbenifikaw u l-ħaddiema soċjali li jagħmluha possibbli, b’hekk ikollhom referenza realistika kontinwa. L-għarfien fil-fond tagħhom dwar is-suġġett u l-approċċ mimli kompassjoni lejn in-nies li qed jirrappreżentaw jirriżulta f’film li mhux biss jolqot fil-fond, iżda li hu wkoll dettaljat, simpatetiku u sfumat.

Mill-vizzju tad-droga sa sitwazzjonijiet ta’ għajxien prekarju, dawn in-nisa jridu jiffaċċjaw l-isfidi tas-sitwazzjoni tagħhom individwalment, iżda l-għixien flimkien f’din id-dar komunitarja jagħtihom l-għodda, l-appoġġ u l-komunità li għandhom bżonn biex jagħmlu dan.

The Dardenne brothers once again bring audiences a moving portrayal of real lives with their latest social-realist drama Young Mothers, which took home the Best Screenplay prize at Cannes earlier this year. 

Following five adolescent mothers living together at a maternal support home in Belgium, the film is a true-to-life portrait of the struggles faced by these young women living on or near the margins of society. The directors spent time in one of these state-run facilities in their home country to research how it runs, the people it helps and the social workers who make it possible, making sure to stay as true to reality as possible. Their in-depth knowledge of the topic and compassionate approach to the people they are portraying results in a film that is not only deeply affecting, but one that is also detailed, sympathetic and nuanced.

From drug addiction to precarious living situations, these women must face the challenges of their situation individually, but living together in this communal home gives them the tools, support and the community they need in order to do so.
