			L'Enfant (The Child) Bruno (La Promesse’s Jérémie Rénier, in a remarkable performance), living on the margins with his girl Sonia and their new baby, makes a living pulling minor heists. Always scheming and always strapped for cash, he decides one day to sell the baby on the black market (“We’ll have another one,” he tells the thunderstruck Sonia). Bruno’s quick, painful growth from childhood to manhood is the central concern of Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, and as always they realize their goal through an ingenious mixture of dramatic compression in harrowingly real time, a stunning sensitivity to sound as a dramatic tool, and a mobile camera eye that stays pinned to the action as it unfolds in furious motion. Alternately heart-rending and uplifting, The Child is that rare thing, a film in which we not only see but feel the redemption of a human being.  100 min.
