On Thurday, March 24, at 6.30 p.m., FFB-22, Bilkent Cinematics presents another in their stellar series of cinematic gems.<\/p>\n
Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne present Two Days, One Night (2014). The acclaimed Belgian brothers, creators of some of the most compelling realist cinema in recent history (Kid on a Bike, Rosetta, L\u2019Enfant) return with a movie that forces viewers to participate in a moral dilemma.<\/p>\n
Oscar winner Marion Cotillard (La Vie en Rose), who received a Best Actress nomination for her role, plays Sandra, a young mother in a small Belgian town who has a nervous collapse and has to take time off work. In her absence, the managers at her workplace determine that if they fire Sandra, this will allow her colleagues to earn a substantial financial bonus that year. When Sandra finds this out, she attempts\u2014over a period of 2 days and 1 night\u2014to convince her co-workers not to accept the bonus and let her keep her much-needed job.<\/p>\n
Here is movie that compels us to ask, what would I do, in this situation? What is more important: money or loyalty? It\u2019s an answer that may be easily offered before seeing the film, but not after.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven by their own high standards,\u201d says the A.V. Club, \u201cthe Dardenne\u2019s latest is a stunner.\u201d<\/p>\n
