Corps-Caméra : The Evocation of Touch in the Dardennes' La Promesse (1996)

Without the universalizing political ideologies of the European Left, the Dardenne brothers focus their cinema on creating a sense of touch between audience and the film. Their "haptic" cinema disrupts viewers' subjectivities and gives them a sensuous experience of other worlds, leading to an ever-shifting ethical bricolage.
