About the film
The Kid with a Bike (French: Le gamin au vélo) is a 2011 drama film written and directed by Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne. Set in Seraing, Belgium, it tells the story of a 12-year-old boy (Thomas Doret) who turns to a woman (Cécile de France) for comfort after his father (Jérémie Renier) has abandoned him. The film was produced through companies in Belgium and France. While The Kid with a Bike does not deviate from the naturalistic style of the Dardenne brothers' earlier works, a comparatively bright aesthetic was employed, as well as a screenplay inspired by fairy tales. Unusually for a film by the directors, it also uses music. On 15 May 2011 The Kid with a Bike premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, where it was a co-winner of the Grand Prix.
