This is a study in brotherly love and the obligations that come with it. But from the start, after Kenny gets out of gaol, deceptions and prevarications interfere.
Dave has got away from their previous life, Kenny wants to sink right back into it and drag everyone along with him.
A slew of violence and criminality ensues ending in the Ardennes of the title.
Much if the film is hard to take, especially as a lot of the film is suggestive and allusive. The violent episodes that are shown on screen are sickening but carried off incredibly well by the main actors and the ones in supporting rôles.
The ending is horrendous even more so because of who's left on the floor.
This film transfixed me and held my attention 100%. It's one of the few films I'll watch again after a decent interval.
