Storyville Season 1998 Episode 8 Gigi, Monica and Bianca 1998
7.7/10 by 6 users
This documentary, made by several of the Dardenne Brothers regular collaborators, tells the story of a group of Romanian teenagers living on the streets of Bucharest, particularly focusing on 'Gigi' and his pregnant girlfriend 'Monica'. We watch their struggles, listen to their ambitions and witness their lives unfold as their child is born and they must find a way to support her and themselves. This is an uncompromising documentary, that shows the hardships its characters are facing in graphic detail, but without commentary or sentiment. Much like the Dardenne's feature films, the characters and situations are left to speak for themselves and it's hard not to be emotionally effected.
