Restraint in Film: through the lens of the dardenneS
Writer / Narrator / Editor
A video essay I created examining the Dardenne brothers’ use of “restraint” in their storytelling. I defined the use of restraint as imagining all the ways a sequence could be captured, and choosing to take the path with the least drama.
With footage from:
“La Promesse” (1996)
“Rosetta” (1999)
“L’Enfant” (2005)
