Abstract: Violence is omnipresent in "Two Days, One Night" the latest film by the Dardenne brothers. But does the violence lie with the characters, willing to sacrifice one of their already vulnerable colleagues? Or does it lie with the system, which forces them to make an impossible choice where, ultimately, everyone has something to lose? Using the works of philosopher Slavoj Žižek as our framework, we shall attempt to ponder this question of violence and how it might be overcome.
