This Audiard film is one that grows on you. De rouille et d'os shows superior craftsmanship on all levels. The scene with Cotillard in an orca show is an example of superb directing: the huge animals are filmed in such a way, that it becomes clear something terrible is about to happen.

Most of the time, the movie focuses on the actors, but now and then aesthetics take over. But apart from the acting achievements, Audiard also has some nice visual treats. I was amazed by her physical appearance as an amputee - you'd swear that she had her legs cut off in order to be able to make this movie. And Marion Cotillard is cast perfectly as a strong-willed woman who refuses to be confined to a wheelchair. Schoenaerts is completely believable as a primitive macho who means well but screws everything up nevertheless.

Audiard knows how to let his two lead actors excel. He answers by carrying her in his arms to the sea and letting her discover that she can swim by using only her arms. 'Do you realize what you're saying?', she replies. No, he asks her if she wants to take a dive in the ocean with him. She lost her legs, but he doesn't ask her how she copes or if she wants a shoulder to cry on. His lack of sympathy and understanding is almost an advantage for her. Although they have almost opposite characters, they find each other in their mutual experience of being different from the rest. The story is about the relationship between this emotionally handicapped man and a physically handicapped woman. His rude and insensitive way of treating other people would almost be funny, if it weren't for the sometimes dramatic consequences. He seems incapable of showing the least bit of empathy. In this movie, he succeeds in embarrassing, hurting or insulting everyone he cares about: his child, his sister and his girlfriend. In De rouille et d'os, Schoenaerts basically plays the same sort of character as he did in Bullhead: lots of muscles, little brainpower. Next year's American remake of the Flemish blockbuster Loft might well be his ticket to Hollywood. At least, that's what everyone in Cannes was talking about. One of those characters is played by Schoenaerts, the Flemish actor who is on the verge of his breakthrough in international cinema. Will it be nominated for an Oscar? Time will tell! Like those other two movies, De rouille et d'os is about strong characters, fighting their way through life against all odds.

Together, they now have made De rouille et d'os. Matthias Schoenaerts is the lead actor in the sensational, Oscar-nominated movie Bullhead.

I run the images through a batch encoder with Irfanview to get rid of black borders on the image, rename the files, and conform them to jpg.Ħ.Jacques Audiard is the maker of the sensational, Oscar-nominated movie Un Prophète. and bring down the number of stills to my 60-65 golden number.ĥ. I go through the folder again (immediately)looking at the frames on large preview and try and remove frames that replicate a certain lighting style or framing. I’m then left with usually around 80-100 really interesting frames. I view all the frames as a slideshow and I remove any frame that there are doubles of (someone might be blinking in first frame and normal in second) or remove any that seem less interesting this time around.Ĥ. So the next step is to edit, usually there might be a week or 2 between the first grab and this edit stage. This usually leaves me with around 200-250 frames per film. Depending on mood I could spend a few hours just doing the grabbingģ. I watch through the movies on VLC, usually between 3x and 4x speed while listening to podcasts, grabbing any frame that interests me. i try to keep a mix of styles.genres/directors and DP’s so I dont get bored while working.Ģ. Make a to do pile, its a combination of recommendations, stuff Ive been enjoying myself, stuff I want to rewatch….
