A woman lives alone with her twins in an old, renovated farm in Belgium. Although they were divorced long ago, she and her husband continue tearing each other apart in front of their children, two young adults incapable of looking after themselves. Helpless and in a bid for survival, the mother leaves the house. In her absence, a fratricidal war breaks out… (Tarantula Luxembourg)

The minimalist opening credits prepare you for the form of this picture. Just a few locations, a couple of actors, no music (with one small exception at the end) and lots of long emotionally tense scenes, without even one single cut or camera movement. Seriously a very low-key French work about a broken family and their trials and tribulations living together on a large country estate. The rising tension between the wonderfully written and acted characters is the central focus of Private Property. And unimposing, and therefore all the better, “little big" movie.
