Aroview: A deceptively modest, altogether riveting early film from the Dardenne brothers, here test-driving the formal rigors of their unwavering realist style, while establishing a concern for the plight of the French underclass with the story of a teenaged boy's conflicted loyalty between his domineering father, and the illegal immigrants he reluctantly helps to exploit.
