Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne have made unforgettable films about today’s changing face of Europe; their latest protagonist is an Albanian immigrant in Belgium who is forced to make several agonizing decisions. Lorna dreams of opening a snack bar with her boyfriend, Sokol, but in order to do so, she becomes an accomplice in a plan devised by mobster Fabio. The Toronto Star: “In casting the previously unknown Asha Dobroshi as Lorna, the brothers approach greatness with their lean portrait of simple humanity tested by desire and driven desperate by circumstances.” Post-film event: critic Gerald Peary will discuss the film after the Saturday show. Sponsored by Terry Doran and Deb Richter. Community Partners: Chronique Francophone, Kellogg-Hubbard Library. 105 minutes, in French with subtitles. Directors interview
