Director Felix Van Groeningen tells the story in many flash backs and flash forwards, but succeeds in not confusing the audience.
In spite of the sometimes very dramatic developments and some emotional scenes the film contains many lighthearted and even funny moments. The bluegrass music blends in naturally: Didier is a bluegrass musician and Elize joins the band as the singer.
The use of bluegrass music was an idea from actor Johan Heldenbergh, who plays Didier. This well-known Flemish actor is very involved in all things American. But later on in the film he despises George W. American politics is not the only theme the director cleverly includes in the story about Didier and Elize. After half an hour i had the feeling i was looking to a amazingly well balanced and touching film. Every scene, switches in time, music and countryside setting, the actors, the Flemish language … it all seems to fit together.
All credits for that, because the content is rather heavy: the life of the the two leading persons turns completely upside down when their child becomes very ill. The enormous grief is shown beautiful in small details like a bent hand in the song if i needed you or the facial expressions of the main actors.
Amazing and yet, easy to believe how two people can react so different on a tragic event like losing your child. Internet Archive's 25th Anniversary Logo. Search icon An illustration of a magnifying glass. User icon An illustration of a person's head and chest.
