Rosetta is a 1999 French-Belgian film written and directed by the Dardenne brothers. It is about a seventeen-year-old girl (played by Émilie Dequenne) who lives in a trailer park with her alcoholic mother. Trying to survive and to escape her situation, she makes numerous attempts towards securing a job allowing her to move away from the caravan and her dysfunctional mother in order to reach a stable life.
In Belgium the film inspired a new law prohibiting employers from paying teen workers less than the minimum wage and other labor reforms for youth.
When her probationary employment ends, Rosetta (Émilie Dequenne) causes a violent struggle against her manager and the policemen when she refuses to leave the premises. She returns home to "The Grand Canyon", the trailer park shared with her alcoholic mother who mends worn clothes for her to sell. Rosetta is also seen laying out traps to catch trout for food. Unable to receive unemployment pay and desperate for work, Rosetta goes around to ask about vacancies until she happens upon a waffle stand. She befriends the worker, Riquet (Fabrizio Rongione), after an inquiry. Rosetta questionably treats her unexplained stomach pains with pain relievers and a hairdryer massaging the area.
The first scene, like almost all others, is a fighting scene. A girl, about 18, is sacked from her factory work because her trial period is over. The girl, Rosetta, is quite upset and the cops will have to arrive to get her out. She has her reasons: she lives in a caravan, with her alcoholic mother. She goes looking for work as some go to the war. Treasons, murders are in her mind, if not in her acts.

Today I review Rosetta, a 1999 Belgium drama film directed by Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne.
miseria e lotta alla sopravvivenza
Vincitore della Palma d'Oro a Cannes nel 1999 e del premio come Miglior Attrice per la strepitosa prova dell'esordiente Emilie Duquenne, la storia di Rosetta è spiazzante soprattutto per il suo essere insolitamente e inesorabilmente reale: abituati a stuoli di adolescenti che lottano per proclamare la propria libertà e affermare la propria diversità, i fratelli Dardenne scelgono di mostrare la realtà di una ragazzina che combatte per affermare il proprio desiderio di normalita. (Titolo originale - Rosetta)
