Gray, wispy-haired Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne are more than just brothers born three years apart.
The acclaimed Belgian directors, whose film “Two Days, One Night” lit up this year’s Cannes Film Festival, are also two cogs in the same creative machine.
Their cinematic synthesis has worked with great success — the duo already have two Palmes d’Or under their belt since they first teamed up in 1978. The first winner was 1999’s “Rosetta,” the second was 2005’s “The Child”.
But this year’s gritty “Two Days, One Night,” which features a tour-de-force performance by Marion Cotillard as Sandra could well hand the brothers a record-breaking third.
