One movie a day
 |
| Rust and Bones by Jacques Audiard |
Ali is a young man who lost a few fights against life. He finds himself overnight with custody of his 5 year old son. Without money, he went to seek refuge at his sister and begins working as a bouncer. In a fight, he meets the spirited Stephanie. She is killer whale trainer, until a terrible accident that deprives her legs.
Official Selection of the Cannes Film Festival
This is a somewhat risky choice to offer this French movie, but given the fact that Audiard is relatively popular in the community and that his film was shown at Cannes, I start. Those who are accustomed to great fanfare special effects and music may be disappointed. In this film full of delicacy, we see two people gradually tame, each overcoming his disability (physical but especially feelings) with the strenght of the other. If Marion Cotillard manages to embody Stephanie and to make us forget her glamorous picture (eg in Inception), it is especially Schoenaerts the revelation of this film. An actor to follow with no doubt.
