Le Silence de Lorna (2008)


Directed by Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Starz)

Lorna is an Albanian immigrant in Belgium who has entered a complex arrangement with a nasty taxi driver for monetary gain in not one but two sham marriages. The first is to a pathetic junkie which is to get her Belgian citizenship. They plan to murder him so she can remarry a rich Russian for a pile of money. The only problem is she starts to have feelings for the junkie, to the point of having sex with him. He gets murdered anyway, then she discovers she is pregnant while negotiating the second sham marriage. This is more or less an unpleasant soap opera populated with unpleasant people. I wish they could keep the camera still.
