Cinema 10 in Potsdam in Potsdam to screen "Two Days, One Night” April 13

POTSDAM -- Cinema 10 continues its spring 2015 season Monday, April 13, with a screening of "Two Days, One Night," at the Roxy Theater, 20 Main St. at 7:15 p.m.

“The worker has become a solitary person, the member of a species on the road to extinction,” co-director Luc Dardenne writes.

Sandra Bya (Marion Cotillard) returns to work after a medical leave to find that management has given her co-workers a choice: let her keep her job or receive a bonus of 1,000 euros each if they add her duties to their own.

On Monday morning, the 16 members of Sandra’s team will vote on her fate, and she has the weekend to persuade them—face to face—to sacrifice their interests for her well-being.

A.O. Scott of The New York Times describes Sandra’s quest: “For her and for us, the repetitiveness of these encounters is grueling and uncomfortable, but it is also crucial to the film’s emotional power.

The film is 95 minutes.

Tickets are $3.50 for students and seniors and $4.50 for general admission.
