Abstract

The film by Jean-Pierre et Luc Dardenne, Deux jours, une nuit (2014), shows the dilemma experienced by workers and their solidarity within an inhuman game based on the logic of capitalism. This film is characterized by the active use of language-image as well as words, language-text, which concretely describe the marginalization of the weak in contemporary society, the isolation of workers, and the hostility to each other reinforced by the capitalist system. The frames partitioned by the lines, colors or materials aroud the characters describe also the solidaristic landscapes, quietly deployed, despite everything. The purpose of this research is to find the language-images of the Dardenne brothers and to understand their social message, using the analysis of the images of the background and the movements of the characters which complete the plot of the film.
