A shy, poor girl wants a job and a normal life. Criterion Collection Year 1999 Video Release 2000-07-18 Studio USA Films Genre Drama MPAA Rating R Color Color Runtime 95 Animated Live-Action Full Synopsis The Belgian filmmaking team of brothers Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne The Kid with a Bike turned heads with ROSETTA, an intense verite drama that closely follows a poor young woman struggling to hold on to a job to support herself and her alcoholic mother. I's a swift and simple tale made revelatory by the raw, empathetic way in which the directors render Rosetta's desperation, keeping the camera nearly perched on her shoulder throughout. Many have copied the Dardennes' style; few have equaled it. This ferocious film won big at Cannes, earning the Palme d'Or for the filmmakers and the best actress prize for the indomitable Emilie Dequenne The Girl on the Train . Director Jean-Pierre Dardenne Cast Jean-Pierre Dardenne; Emilie Dequenne; Fabrizio Rongione; Olivier Gourmet
