Watch: Trailer for Dardenne Brothers’ ‘Two Days, One Night’ Starring Marion Cotillard

I am not incredibly well versed in the works of Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne. I believe the only film I have seen of theirs was their most recent, The Kid with a Bike. I was not terribly impressed with it, but I can understand why many film fanatics would respond to their stuff. Their new film, Two Days, One Night, premiered at this years Cannes Film Festival. I heard next to nothing about it coming out of the festival, which could be a bad sign. But, quite frankly, I did not hear much of anything out of the festival this year. The film, which will be released in the US on December 24th (I’m assuming in an extremely limited amount of theaters for awards consideration), has a new trailer for you to watch.

It stars Marion Cotillard, and that in itself is enough to give the film a chance. She has an immense talent, and working in her native language only helps in me wanting to see it. The story sounds rather low stakes, and I am wondering how compelling a feature about it could be (you can read the synopsis below). The Dardennes’ last film was pretty low stakes, and I found that quite the bore. So, we’ll see.

Again, you can watch the trailer below.

Two Days, One Night (Deux jours, une nuit) follows Sandra (Cotillard), a young woman assisted by her husband, who has only one weekend to convince her colleagues to give up their bonuses so that she can keep her job.
