Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne

Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne were born in 1951 and 1954 in the Liège region, and grew up in its industrial suburbs. The first studied drama, the second philosophy. In 1975, they founded a production company and for some fifteen years made documentaries, on workers' struggles, the strike of 1960 or the resistance, before moving on to fiction. They write and direct together, produce their films through a company founded in 1994 and have twice received the Palme d'Or.
