Arta Dobroshi
Arta Dobroshi received critical acclaim for her key role in The Silence of Lorna, which won the Best Screenplay Award at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival. Her role has estimated world wide criticism for her presentation, making her not only a famous actress in the cinema world, but also in Kosovo, newly emerged from war. She is the first Albanian actress that has greatly affected the Cannes Red Carpet, being presented as the star of the cinema world at the 61st edition of the Cannes Film Festival.
In the film, Arta Dobroshi plays Lorna, a hardworking Albanian immigrant in the grim Belgium city of Liege who is saving money to open her own snack bar. She is sharing a flat with Claudy (Jérémie Renier), with whom she has a hostile, businesslike relationship. It’s soon clear that Claudy is a degenerate and the pair are married – but only so that Lorna can gain Belgian citizenship. Lorna's character throughout the movie makes us feel empathy as she struggles to choose between her life, her dreams, and the life of another person.
This may all sound like an element of the underworld with the tendency to believe readily, but the characters and the movie itself reflects a gleaming light of humanity that captures your inner-soul; humanity that she progressively reveals after she learns of a possible pregnancy.
The Dardennes present a convincing and compassionate observation of the gray area that lies between despair and responsibility; gray areas that we all live and experience throughout our lives. Lorna plays an intriguing character and certainly deserves a place in the collection of Dardenne brothers' films.
The Silence of Lorna film premieres at the ABC Kinema in Prishtina.
