André Demester shares his time between his farm and walks with Barbe, his childhood friend. He loves her secretly and painfully, accepting from her the little that she can give him. Along with the others his age, Demester leaves home to be a soldier in a war in a far off land. Barbarity, camaraderie and fear turn Demester into a warrior. As the seasons go by, Barbe, alone and wasting away, waits for the soldiers to return. Will Demester’s boundless love for Barbe save him?

“Bruno Dumont returns to the form his admirers love in Flanders a somber, beautifully acted reflection on the barbarity of war and the bestiality of man which only enormous compassion can redeem.” -- Deborah Young, VARIETY

“Flanders makes antimilitary and antioccupation statements with clear parallels to the situation in Iraq. With a brilliant severity, it is Dumont’s most accomplished work since La vie de Jésus.” -- Howard Feinstein, Filmmaker Magazine

“Moving and remarkably contained.” -- Glenn Kenny, PREMIERE

“Better than a cross between Irrevérsible and Saving Private Ryan. A return to form.” -- Peter Bradshaw, THE GUARDIAN
