Rust and Bone is based on Craig Davidson’s collection of short story with the same title.

It will be shown in cinemas on November 23rd 2012 and is directed by Jacques Audiard. Let’s check out why Rust and Bone is garnering great reviews from critics in the world:
“Rust And Bone: A Movie That Will Surely Move You
It’s hard not to walk out of Rust & Bone wondering how Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard was so convincingly made to look like a woman who has had both her legs amputated just above the knee. The effects are remarkable: she’s seen nude, she’s seen removing the prosthetics, she’s seen being carried in someone’s arms and on someone’s back. Even knowing what we all know about digital effects, it’s hard not to ask yourself: How is that possible?
But this — and, actually, the fact that the character has any sort of disability — ultimately takes a back seat to the exquisitely told story of Stephanie (Cotillard) and Ali (Matthias Schoenaerts), who meet one night outside the club where he’s a bouncer.
It’s remarkable in any film about an intense relationship when the relationship is profoundly complicated in interesting ways, but both characters are so fully formed that either one could support a story; they don’t have to meet each other to be worth knowing. Stephanie’s relationship with the work she did before her accident, her recovery process, and what we see of her friendships would provide enough story for a good movie. So would the way Ali arrives at the home of his sister Anna, his son in tow, trying to figure out how to make a respectable living when all he really knows how to do is fight. And then, of course, they meet.
Nominated for the Palme d’Or earlier this year at Cannes, and written and directed by Jacques Audiard, who last made 2009′s Oscar-nominated A Prophet, Rust & Bone creates the most tactile presentation of the human body of any film I can remember. In addition to the details of Cotillard’s metal legs, which are touched by the curious fingers of Ali’s five-year-old son in one of the film’s quietest sequences, it luxuriates in the raw physicality of fighting and bleeding, as well as of sex and dancing. Even outside the human body, its primary subject, the film puts enormous sensory detail into its presentations of whales and of water and ice.
