I saw the movie plainly out of curiosity of what would the Palm d'Or be awarded to this one. I was not disappointed. This movie never for once deviated from the focal point of the too simple story. The levels of poverty shown in the movie only strengthen the plot. However there is no other Palm d'Or awardee which is so predictable like this one. I guessed the ending only seven minutes into the movie, too late i guess.. The title says it all. Its not the baby. Its the babies. Bruno, who seems so nonchalant and casual while he sells his own baby to adoption, does look real stupid, wondering what wrong did he do while he's at the hospital with his girlfriend. But yes, i'd rather prefer "rosetta" to this movie. The total absence of any music, (even in a Belgian bar?) also adds to the gloomy, dull atmosphere in this movie. You need patience, lots of it for this one.
