There's nothing like a bit of French cinema to cheer you up. Rust And Bone is the story about the power of hope in adverse circumstances and the healing that friendship can bring. Stephanie loses both legs in a freak accident and turns to Ali, a bouncer at a nightclub, for support. Both characters are interesting - Ali, a rough diamond; Stephanie, beautiful but vulnerable. Both central performances are very strong; Marion Cotillard in particular nails her part. The cinematography is quite striking, and with the help of some choice music and a thoughtful script the film flows with a natural rhythm that is very powerful. Moving, engaging, and shows you that hope, healing and redemption can come in strange disguises. 8/10
