THE BROKEN CIRCLE BREAKDOWN (15) 2012 GROENINGEN, FELIX VAN
£15.99
Heartfelt drama charts the love story between a Belgian couple who soon
find their love tested to the limits. Based on the stage play by Johan
Heldenbergh and Mieke Dobbels, the film tells the story of the highs and
lows in the life of Elise (Veerle Baetens), who owns her own tattoo
shop, and Didier (Heldenbergh), who plays the banjo in a Flemish
bluegrass band. In spite of major differences, the pair fall in love at
first sight, going on to enjoy an idyllic lifestyle singing together in
the band, and leading a life of rustic simplicity in the Flemish
countryside.
Not long after, their happiness appears to be complete with the birth
of their daughter, Maybelle (Nell Cattrysse). But when Maybelle later
becomes gravely ill, Elise and Didier’s differing responses to the
crisis throws their relationship into turmoil and places a question mark
on their future together.
