About Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne
Young Mothers is a film by Belgian filmmakers Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne, screened as part of Edinburgh International Film Festival at Screen 1. The Dardennes return with a study of women living in a shelter for young mothers, each carrying their own story. True to their reputation as humanist auteurs, the film explores social constraints and human nature with the intimate, unflinching approach that defines their work. The screening carries an unclassified rating of 15 and up, with content warnings for child abuse, pregnancy, substance abuse, violence and strong language.
Why see this show?
A new Dardenne film is always an event — their quietly powerful approach to social realism has few equals in contemporary cinema. This EIFF screening offers the chance to see their latest human drama on the big screen.
