This film was a gem and I look forward to seeing "Rosetta" by the same filmmakers, although I missed it back in '99.
The story has a gritty documentary feel in its depiction of lower-class immigrant experience in Belgium, but nonetheless is dramatically compelling because of the tension between the father and the son.
I haven't seen this side of modern European urban life treated in film this well.
