Rosetta is about 18
years old and she lives in France. She is let go from her job and she
fights to stay, she punches the man who has told her to leave. She was a
factory worker on a trial period and even though she has done a good job, she’s
being let go. This job was very important to her and the factory people
don’t understand how important. She lives in a trailer with her alcoholic
mother and she does everything herself. She must find another job, she
goes looking for work like someone going to war.
Rosetta is very
resourceful and mature in the difficulties of life but immature in other
aspects. She uses a broken bottle and a worm to catch fish from the river
by their trailer. She won’t take charity of any kind and she tries
desperately to help her mother stay away from alcohol. There is a lot
going on in this film but it seems like the same thing all the time, either
Rosetta is fighting or running, you can’t view that for 95 minutes and think
this is a good film? 3* (This movie is OK)
95 min, Drama directed by Jean-Pierre
and Luc Dardenne with Emilie Dequenne, Fabrizio Rongione, Anne Yernaux, Olivier
Gourmet, Bernard Marbaix, Frederic Bodson.
