FREE ON CINEGEEK.DE Dardenne - Rosetta 

At night, before she goes to sleep, Rosetta speaks to herself. "Your name is Rosetta. My name is Rosetta. You found a job. I found a job. You have a girlfriend. I have a girlfriend. Good night. "Rosetta is a young woman who wants to work at all costs. To escape her mother's world, who is an alcoholic and lives in a trailer. This is the precipice that lies before Rosetta, and she will do anything not to fall. The Dardenne brothers have turned this into a neo-realistic, very straightforward film. It's what you see that counts. There's nothing behind it that you need to interpret. To begin with, Rosetta gets fired. She beats the boss, is chased by the police, has to go back to her mother. We know; she was dismissed unjustly. Her lunch she fishes in a dirty river. She buys old clothes. She meets Riquet, who likes her. Maybe Rosetta likes him too. And she can't dance. And she often has a stomachache. Picture after picture, and slowly we get to know Rosetta better, who is actually still a child. The film is not about sympathy. It develops an almost magical power! I think Rosetta has no idea what it is like to be happy. She has never experienced it. That's why she thinks work is synonymous with happiness. Rosetta is proud. She will find work and live a normal life. She'll find a boyfriend. And she'll be happy.
