Luc Dardenne was born in 1954 in Awirs, Wallonia, Belgium. Children, Luc Dardenne and his older brother, Jean-Pierre live in the village of Engis, but spend their days Seraing, industrial suburb of Liege, where, later, they will be most of their films. Luc studied philosophy, while his elder Jean-Pierre follows courses of dramatic art. Professor of the latter, Armand Gatti offers to the young actor and his younger brother to become his wizards. It also allows them to make their first weapons as filmmakers, turning videos women in different workers ' housing estates of the walloon provinces. From 1978 onwards, they carry out a series of documentaries on the resistance of the anti-nazi in Wallonia, the free radio or even the memory of the workers. They go to fiction in 1987 adapting a theatre piece : a portrait of the last surviving a jewish family exterminated in the camps, Falsch is co-written by Jean Gruault, screenwriter of Truffaut. They turn then I think about you with Fabienne Babe, but the movie-goers will not find that with their third album, The Promise, which made a sensation at the Directors ' Fortnight and won a rain of international awards in 1996. Nourished by their experience of the documentary, this work is intense, articulating subtly the intimate (a conflict father/son) and the social (the operation of the illegal immigrants) reveals Olivier Gourmet, and the young Jérémie Renier.

President of the jury at Cannes, David Cronenberg creates the surprise by awarding the Palme d'or at this radical and the Prize of feminine interpretation to her actress debutante. Faithful to their spare style, the filmmakers would then sign The Son, a film about the forgiveness that is with Olivier Gourmet, impressive restraint, the Prix d'interprétation masculine at Cannes in 2002. Also producers (The Ax Costa-Gavras), they won a second Palme d'or in 2005 for their sixth feature-length film The Child, in which Jérémie Renier embodies, ten years after The Promise, a little rogue unable to assume his paternity. The Dardenne confirm their reputation as the discoverers of the young talent with their next film, The Silence of Lorna (Best screenplay award at Cannes in 2008), new thinking on the guilt, through the course painful of an immigrant Albanian Cork, performed by an actress unknown, Arta Dobroshi. In 2011, their new film The Kid with a bike, selected at the Cannes film festival, brings together two of the best belgian players of the moment : Cécile de France who crosses their route for the first time, and Jérémie Renier, the now familiar.
