The taste of rust and bones (original title: De rouille et d'os ) is a French film drama by director Jacques Audiard from 2012 and is based on a short story from the 2005 collection "Rust and Bone" by Canadian Craig Davidson.
action
Ali, in his mid-twenties, travels with his little son Sam to Antibes to see his sister Anna. Although she earns little money as a cashier in a supermarket, she takes them in and takes care of Sam. The relationship between father and son is not without problems, because Ali is sometimes quite rough with the boy. Because of his love of quickies , he forgets to pick him up from school every now and then.
Ali, who masters various fighting techniques, gets a job with a security company. While working as a security guard, Ali meets the elder Martial. This installs secret surveillance cameras in large companies. Ali learns later that these are not used to monitor customers, but rather employees. The two become friends and Ali starts working for Martial because he makes more money. Martial also organizes illegal fights and offers Ali to take part in them. Ali gets involved. One night while working as a doorman in a discotheque, he met Stéphanie, who was injured in an argument. He brings her home and learns that she works as an orca trainer at Marineland in Antibes. Stéphanie doesn't get in touch with him until months later. She has now lost both lower legs in an accident at work. An extraordinary love story develops between the unequal couple, which helps Stéphanie to find her way back to life.
Filming
The special effects come from the French company Mikros Image . One of the most important methods was to have Cotillard wear green knee socks. The legs under her knees were then deleted from the computer or replaced with an image of a prosthetic lower leg. For certain settings, for example in a wheelchair, a wheelchair with a raised floor was used or, for the scenes on the mattress, a cavity was used for shooting.
Reviews
“Audiard isn't a message filmmaker, he's too sophisticated for that. Any theorizing of the themes in his work always goes a little wrong. For example, he does not introduce criminal machinations by company bosses through the victims, nor through the system, but through the dependent middleman. This side entry enables him to touch discourses on power before you know it. He illuminates social fields very clearly, introducing them without further ado and false subtlety via his plot and the dialogues. But in the next moment he is always on, in concrete terms. "
"Seldom has it been shown in the cinema with such brutal beauty as two people learn to love."
“With Jacques Audiard, who in his six directorial works to date has repeatedly expected the audience to develop empathy with amoral heroes, love also has a conscience. His new film is about a comprehensive and therefore also social learning process. Although the ambience is always in danger of disappearing - the Côte d'Azur has seldom looked so unadorned - Audiard talks about how we can live with poverty today. "
"The powerful, sometimes powerfully developed (melo-) drama brings its storylines together to an emotionally disturbing ending and captivates with extraordinary actor performances in the two main roles."
