  • Trilogy 2: An Amazing Couple (2002)
    Review preview for Trilogy 2: An Amazing Couple

    While the films of The Trilogy can certainly be enjoyed on their own, the viewer's overall appreciation of them - and scale of Belvaux's vision - grows exponentionally when they are viewed in their totality.
