Our Children

Why we’re excited...
Because this Belgium family drama has been picking up rave reviews – including a five-star seal of approval from Time Out’s Trevor Johnston, who described it as a ‘filmmaking masterclass… though far from comfortable viewing’.

The premise sounds almost unwatchably traumatic: it’s based on the real-life story of a young mother who killed her five children in 2007. Tahar Rahim stars as a Moroccan immigrant who lives with his wife and their kids in the home of his benefactor – a well-off doctor, whose generosity seems to crush his guests.

Who stars?
The film reunites Rahim with Niels Arestrup. The pair starred together in the prison drama ‘A Prophet’ – Rahim as a young inmate and Arestrup as a gnarled crime boss. Émilie Dequenne plays the troubled mum.

  • Schoenarts is amazing in 'Rust and Bone' as well, with Marainne Cotillard. By the way he's Belgian, not Dutch, and it not too hard to pronounce if you ignore the spelling - shone (rhymes with bone) arts - shone-arts .
