Marion Cotillard w/d Dardennes
Riveting drama about a woman struggling to keep her job in Belgium during the global race to the bottom.
Done with their trademark hand-held camera technique but less of the shaky cam than in past films. The entire focus is on this woman's efforts to stay afloat in a cruel, inhumane economic system. MC is brilliant and easily carries the film. She is intense, despairing, de-glamorized, heartbreakingly vulnerable. Her interactions with her co-workers are starkly realistic and believable.
This is one of their best films...also one of her best. A treat for a dedicated filmgoer.
