Dardenne Brothers - Favourite Films List


Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne composed a list of films that were influential or important to them, for screening at the Cinémathèque Royale de Belgique in Belgium in 2005. The list was on the cinematheque's website (link) at the time, but seemingly has since been removed.
