Martha Nochimsons review of The Son reminded me of the wonderful style of
disclosure in the Dardennes Rosetta. This was a remarkable yet
unostentatious display of narrative plot. I look forward to The Son.
Thanks for the reviews of these films. I want to see them all. I dont want
to labour a distinction between reviewing and criticism, but reviews are
handy. They whet the appetite and help us find better ways through the
littered battle ground of the movie wars.
Also Robert drew attention to Senses of Cinema. This is a remarkable and
generous online journal that gets better and better.
