| 1 | [on Deux jours, une nuit (2014)] (Luc) wanted to show how this woman, without realizing it, over one weekend, manages to inspire a solidarity that was totally lost in the workplace. In the attempt to save herself, she manages to recreate this important element: solidarity. This is what interested us. Not pointing the finger at who is to blame, whether it's the company, our society or the harsh competitiveness of the working environment. |
| 2 | [Palme d'Or acceptance speech for Rosetta (1999)] I'll try and be as simple as the film we have made. Thank you for having loved Rosetta. Thank you very much. |
| 3 | We are not Spielberg. Spielberg is successful, not us. [on himself and his brother Luc] |
| 4 | The truth is always less interesting than the fiction. |
| # | Fact |
|---|---|
| 1 | Has directed one Oscar-nominated performance: Marion Cotillard in Deux jours, une nuit (2014). |
| 2 | Four of his films have been chosen to represent Belgium for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film: Rosetta (1999), Le fils (2002), L'enfant (2005) and Deux jours, une nuit (2014), but none of them have been nominated. The only one that got an Oscar nomination is Deux jours, une nuit (2014), which was nominated for Best Actress. |
| 3 | All of his films are set in Seraing, Liege, the Belgian town where him and his brother Luc Dardenne were born and raised. |
| 4 | Arta Dobroshi, Marion Cotillard and Adèle Haenel are the only non-Belgian actors that he and his brother cast to lead one of their films since Je pense à vous (1992). Cotillard was cast in Deux jours, une nuit (2014) after meeting the brothers on the set of Rust and Bone (2012), which was co-produced by them. The original plan was to work together in La fille inconnue (2016), which was eventually made years later with Haenel in the lead. Cotillard is the most famous actor that they ever worked with. |
| 5 | Seven of his films have been nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival: Rosetta (1999), Le fils (2002), L'enfant (2005), Le silence de Lorna (2008), The Kid with a Bike (2011), Deux jours, une nuit (2014) and La fille inconnue (2016). "Two Days, One Night" was his first film that left the festival empty-handed, despite receiving unanimous acclaim and a 15-minute standing ovation. The following film, "The Unknown Girl", also didn't win any award at the festival. |
| 6 | Along with his brother Luc, he is one of a select band of directors to have won the Palme d'Or twice at the Cannes Film Festival. The others are Francis Ford Coppola, Alf Sjöberg, Bille August, Emir Kusturica, Shôhei Imamura, Michael Haneke and Ken Loach. |
