Cannes (France) (AFP) - Belgian filmmakers the Dardenne brothers aimed for a record third top prize at Cannes Tuesday with a drama about moral compromise during tough economic times starring Oscar winner Marion Cotillard. "Two Days, One Night", one of 18 features vying for the Palme d'Or award at the world's top film festival, tells the story of an employee of a small solar panel factory that is under intense pressure from Asian competitors. Jean Pierre and Luc Dardenne cast Cotillard as Sandra, a woman who has been on sick leave after a nervous breakdown who has just one weekend to convince her colleagues to vote to sacrifice their annual bonuses so she can keep her job. The story generates a fair amount of suspense for a film made by the Dardenne brothers, masters of keenly observed portraits of people trying to keep their heads above water.
