If you don’t frequent the Cannes, Telluride, Toronto and New York film festivals, or at least your local art house movie theater, you may not know the names Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne. These soft-spoken, unassuming sexagenarian brothers from Belgium are as talented and consistently on-the-mark as any filmmakers in the world — and they have been for years. But the Academy has never even nominated one of their projects for the best foreign language film Oscar, even though three have been submitted by their motherland over the years. Perhaps this grave injustice will be corrected, or at least not extended, when the Academy, sometime in the next 48 hours, reveals the names of the nine films that its foreign language committee or executive committee have deemed worthy of this year’s Oscar shortlist.
