Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne's latest masterpiece of conscience, Two Days, One Night (Deux Jours, Une Nuit), stars Marion Cotillard with Fabrizio Rongione, Catherine Salée, Batiste Sornin, a formidable Olivier Gourmet, Timur Magomedgadzhiev and Catherine Salée, who played the mother of Adèle in Abdellatif Kechiche's Blue Is The Warmest Colour.
The Dardennes and I spoke about fairy tales, their work with costume designer Maïra Ramedhan Levi, finding the right clothes, the use of rehearsals, suspense, seduction versus vulnerability and working with stars.

“The only way to stop crying is to fight for your job.” One can rarely accuse Belgian filmmakers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne of cutting to the chase, but less than ten minutes pass in Two Days, One Night before Manu (Fabrizio Rongione) plainly explains to Sandra (Marion Cotillard) — and the viewer — what she must do: spend the weekend convincing her colleagues that they should forsake their bonuses so she can keep her job at a local solar panel manufacturer. It’s the closest thing the Dardennes have had to a high-concept premise.

Dumont (Batiste Sornin), has given the workers a stark choice: they must decide between keeping their €1000 annual bonus or letting Sandra go. Bullied by their foreman Jean-Marc (Olivier Gourmet), who tells them if Sandra isn't fired one of them will be, they initially vote to selfishly keep their financial incentive.
