Rollercoaster thriller about the crime that shook Belgium

Maldoror, a film by the seasoned Belgian master of the genre Fabrice Du Welz, offers a deftly directed and gripping two-and-a-half-hour story inspired by events in Belgium in the 1990s. It was a major judicial scandal centered on Marc Dutroux, a serial killer and child molester.

On life choices, relationships and the cracks that emerge to surface
Nada Vuković
Renovation is a quiet film about life choices, in silence and mild scenes of everyday life. The events in the film do not unfold abruptly; instead, the direction creates space in which it becomes clear how life changes in small increments.
