Product Description
Oscar winner Marion Cotillard (La Vie En Rose) received another nomination for her searing, deeply felt performance as a working-class woman desperate to hold on to her factory job, in this gripping film from master Belgian directors Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne (The Kid with a Bike). Cotillard is Sandra, a wife and mother who suffers from depression and discovers that, while she was home on sick leave, a majority of her coworkers voted in favor of her being fired rather than give up their annual bonuses. She then spends a Saturday and Sunday visiting them each in turn, to try to convince them to change their minds. From this simple premise, the Dardennes render a powerful, humanist drama about the importance of community in an increasingly impersonal world.
Customer Reviews
Since half stars aren't possible, I'm rounding up to 5 stars. As a die-hard Dardenne Brothers (DB) fan, I agree with the others that this film isn't quite at La Promesse-level, but it doesn't fall too short. True to their vision and style: moral dilemma, working-class world, no music, no fancy cinematography and editing. And it's far better than Lorna's Silence, a disappointing deviation from their usual fare.Cotillard is riveting, ditto Rongione as her heroic, supportive husband. As with all DB films, the acting by the supporting cast is artless. Fan club members will instantly recognize some of them - Rongione, Olivier Gourmet, Marinne - from their other films. So grateful that Dardenne films are available here! Two Days, One Night is absolutely worth watching.
