Regardless, they’re going to be going for a third Palme with “Young Ahmed,” a new drama which is set to premiere in competition at the Cannes Film Festival next month. This, their eleventh feature-length film, is a story about a Belgian teenager who plots to kill his teacher after reading the Quran. A producer revealed last year, that the drama was “the tale of the radicalization of a young boy in Belgium. A strong aspect of the script is the way it opens a debate around the interpretation of the Quran by a young kid under the influence.” Supposedly, controversy is already hitting the airwaves about the film, which I didn’t know, with The Playlist reporting that “Film Twitter has already been in a fuss about the film with some people pre-condemning the Dardennes for taking on such a potentially reckless subject.” This should be fun.
