Movie: Rust and Bone
Genre: drama
Synopsis: This is a French
film with subtitles. Stéphanie (Marion
Cotillard) works in the French version of Sea World as a killer whale trainer.
Ali
(Matthias Schoenaerts) is a poor Belgian immigrant who is trying to raise his
young son while living with his sister. When Stéphanie loses both of her legs
in a freak work-accident, she and Ali become friends. He is instrumental is Stéphanie coming to
grips with living her life without her legs.
My two cents: As much as I
like Marion Cotillard, this movie just did not do it for me. It kind of left me flat – like so many French
films, the credits rolled and I asked myself what was the point of the movie
and why did they not wrap things up. It
just left me hanging. I am also a bit
puzzled about the title – I never figured out how it fit the movie,
