About survival, the extreme of realism

Re-watched "Two Days and One Night" by the Darney Brothers with a score of 9. Since I watched "Rosetta", I have been a fan of the director brothers who specialize in expressing ordinary people on the fringe. The 14-year-old "Two Days and One Night" Darney Brothers + Maria Gotti finally had a big cast.
The movie "Two Days and One Night" tells the story of the heroine working in a small factory with 17 workers. After a serious illness, she returned to the factory and was fired. When the heroine Sandra was ill, the boss found that the factory only needed 16 people to complete the work, so he decided to fire Sandra. The boss used an insidious trick to let the workers choose whether they wanted a bonus of 1,000 euros or Sandra to get the job. In the first vote, three people chose to stay with Sandra, and thirteen people chose the bonus. Sandra's husband and friends encouraged her on Friday to find her boss to vote again next Monday.
Sandra met with 12 people, four wins and eight losses, and the final vote was eight to eight. During that time, Sandra tried to commit suicide once. In the end, the boss decided to bring Sandra back to work, but fired the temps. Sandra refused.
Sandra was clearly prone to depression and committed suicide once. During the weekend of two days and one night, she has been trying to resist. During this period, apart from
the support of her family and friends, she did not receive large sums of money or external help. But during this period, she found a direction in life. Even if he lost his job, he still had hope in life.
The video maintains the usual style of the Darney brothers, no soundtrack, documentary-style pictures.

    I like it very much. The Darney brothers are so awesome. Such a boring subject matter and such a poor perspective can make people unable to leave the story. It's really amazing to be able to make such a good dramatic tension in the front and back. The art of the Darney brothers is simple and delicate. A piece of blue wall in the laundry room and two ordinary suspenders can make the atmosphere full and natural, which is really surprising.

Two Days, One Night quotes

  • Sandra: Everytime I feel like a beggar, a thief coming to take their money. They look at me, ready to hit me. I feel like I'm hitting them too.

  • Timur: Hello.

    Sandra: Hello. Your daughter told me you were here. I was round at your place. I wanted to see you about the vote on the bonus and me being laid off. Juliette and I saw Dumont and he'll let us hold another ballot Monday because Jean-Marc influenced people by telling them that Dumont wanted to lay off staff anyway. So if it wasn't me who was made redundant it would be them... So... I wanted to ask you if... if you'd vote for me to stay on Monday.

    Timur: [in tears] Of course I will. I'm really glad you're here. I'm so mad at myself for voting for my bonus. I'm sorry.

    Sandra: Don't be sorry. I can understand. 1.000 Euros.

    Timur: No. I'm ashamed. I even forgot what you did for me. Remember? When I broke those cells... and you said you did it. You remember.

    Sandra: Yes, and Jean-Marc even said: "Fine example to set the new guy!"

    Timur: I'm really glad you came.
