Outstanding mysterious temperament and calm performance make Juliette Binoche unique in the international film industry.
In the film adapted from the novel The Wharf of Ustrem written by Florence Obernas, a famous French journalist, which was broadcast on the film channel "A Good Film with a Date", Juliette Binoche picked up cleaning tools and showed a completely different style.
Picture "Two Worlds" poster
In 2008, the financial tsunami plunged the French people into a wave of unemployment. In order to write a work about "The Bitterness of the Laborers at the Bottom", the female writer Marion (Juliette Binoche) turned into a cleaning lady, hoping to really understand those people who can’t make ends meet through personal experience.
The cold wind is bleak, waiting in line to withdraw money, repeatedly communicating with employment guidance personnel, actively delivering resumes at job-hunting venues, competing for cleaning jobs with all kinds of people, and cleaning toilets and cabins in the midst of all kinds of difficulties for customers … …
High pressure, low basic salary, fast pace, mechanical labor, day after day. These unprecedented life experiences made her feel surprised and confused.
In the process of her "field trip", Marianne discovered more and more truths that she could not imagine.
In this economic storm, everyone who stands on the edge of unemployment is being squeezed.
Because of the hot weather, Marilou (Leia Ghani) had to wear underwear to work, but she was fired.
In order to support three children and herself, Christine (played by Helen Lambert) must choose the job with the highest hourly salary. For her, the luxury cruise ship docked at Huste Rem Pier is hell and a rare source of livelihood. Christine needs to clean a room every four minutes on average on the cruise ship. The specific matters include changing the sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases of the four bunks, and cleaning the toilet and sink.
Through Marianne’s eyes, we can see the life of ordinary people at the bottom of French society under the financial crisis.
But the film didn’t stop there.
On the one hand, the film Two Worlds depicts the invisible group of cleaning women in European society, on the other hand, it discusses the reflection and humanitarian point of view of artistic creation.
We can’t deny Marianne’s efforts. Compared with the scholars who live in ivory towers, she really has the necessary conscience for intellectuals who care about the public.
She is perfectly qualified for every job, just like the most diligent worker, but even so, Marianne is different from other cleaners.
The employer’s ruthlessness, the numbness of customer service, the stains in the bathroom, all the filth and ugliness can’t smooth out Marianne, which have become the selling points of her new book in the future and turned it into the driving force for her to continue.
Compared with other cleaners, they have no choice, and they may be trapped in this hellish working environment for the minimum wage all their lives.
Just as in the film, when the staff of the employment center saw through Marianne, they said, "When you can’t stand it, don’t do it. Go back to your original life. People who come here don’t have the right to choose. This is the biggest difference."
The reality shown in Two Worlds is mixed. The creator let the audience see the difficult situation of the bottom workers, and at the same time realize our own unavoidable eye limitations.
Everything came to an abrupt end, but life went on.
Although there is no happy ending, perhaps this is the real thing.
This Saturday and Sunday (November 18th and 19th), the movie channel "A Good Movie with an Appointment" will broadcast the movie "Two Worlds" starring Juliette Binoche for you, so that we can experience the true meaning of life from an open perspective.
