Matthias Schoenaerts (left) plays a boxer with emotional issues in the drama "Rust and Bone."
Two broken people meet in "Rust and Bone," Jacques Audiard?s brutally unromantic French romance.
Ali (Matthias Schoenaerts) is a boxer who takes his young son away from Belgium to live in Antibes. There he meets and begins a romance with Stephanie (Marion Cotillard), a killer-whale trainer. The relationship has barely gotten off the ground when Stephanie suffers a horrific accident, losing both her legs above the knee to an orca. From here, the film focuses on Stephanie?s determination not to be pitied, as she becomes Ali?s manager in a network of back-alley bare-knuckled fistfights.

?Rust and Bone?
Opens Friday, Feb. 1, at the Broadway Centre Cinema; rated R for strong sexual content, brief graphic nudity, some violence and language; in French with subtitles; 120 minutes.
Audiard (who directed the astonishing prison drama "A Prophet") employs some impressive computer effects to re-create Stephanie?s disability (think Lt. Dan in "Forrest Gump," but more realistic), while drawing fierce performances from Cotillard and Schoenaerts (who played the steroid-popping thug in last year?s Oscar nominee "Bullhead"). The plot goes in some stunning and not always coherent directions, but the emotions are raw and striking.
