From the director of the multi-award-winning A Prophet, comes a gripping tale of two souls finding strength from each other after tragedy reunites them. Marion Cotillard (Academy Award® winner, 2007, Best Actress, La Vie En Rose) gives a tour-de force performance as Stephanie, an orca trainer whose life is transformed when tragedy strikes during a show. Faced with unbearable circumstances she turns to Ali (Matthias Schoenarts, Bullhead), a street boxer amidst his own battle of life-changing events. As their stories intersect, they navigate a gritty relationship in a world where love and courage appear in many forms.

Reviews

Keith & the Movies

Keith Garlington

“Rust and Bone” rarely offers the audience an opportunity to smile. It deals with tough issues and never adds an ounce of sugarcoating or melodrama.

Audiard seeks to invest his audience on a physical and emotional level; not through narrative realism, but through a sensuous drama that mines the intimacy of its characters.

Rust and Bone possess a unique vivacity and hopefulness that just can't be shaken off. Despite Stéphanie's general lack of character, Cotillard lifts her to levels of emotional brilliance.

Marion Cotillard was mesmerizing as an amputee in Rust and Bone.

It's far more layered and subtle than its summary suggests, thanks to the magical combination of [Jacques] Audiard's direction and Marion Cotillard's uninhibited, prickly, incredible performance.
