In a manner similar to what happens with the television schedules, the streaming services suddenly go quiet in the summer. For true cinema fans this is pretty good news because the art house stuff comes along as well as some of the better catalogue titles that might have appeared elsewhere before.
It will probably be September before any subscription winning blockbusters are added again but the smart money is on one of the big ones adding The Avengers and (fingers crossed) the last season of Breaking Bad.
By the time you read this, the new Netflix exclusive series Orange is the New Black from the creator of Weeds, will be available on Netflix. Early word is that it’s actually the best Netflix exclusive title so far, which is good news after the horrendous Hemlock Grove. I will weigh in with an opinion next month.

Building upon Canadian author Craig Davidson’s short story of the same title, Rust and Bone sees director Jacques Audiard in search of amourous authenticism between lives initially divided by ego, affluence and acumen. He calls the film ‘melo-trash’, a description somewhere between ‘realist’ and ‘expressionist’ that initially seems a harsh critique, but after being baptized in the toiling ground zero world that his characters inhibit, it seems a fitting delineation that explores side dealings and back alleys while shouldering the weight of bracingly exposed emotion. With this in mind, Audiard’s, Cannes selected sixth feature film is often hard to watch. It’s raw portrayal of physical bereavement centers a densely layered narrative that rests on the question of where trust and friendship bleed into love.
Anchoring the film with a pair of the best performances of last year, Marion Cotillard and Matthias Schoenaerts are shallowly set as opposing attractions.

The French drama Rust and Bone explores the lives of two adults who are drawn to each other while dealing with the misfortunes that have befallen them. Pieced together from a book of short stories of the same name by Canadian author Craig Davidson, director (and co-writer) Jacques Audiard and co-writer Thomas Bidegain have created a compelling narrative. Rust and Bone also features exquisite performances by Matthias Schoenaerts and Marion Cotillard (who snagged a lot of award nominations for the role).
Unemployed Alain (Schoenaerts) brings his young son Sam (Armand Verdure) to Antibes, France where they can crash at his sister Anna's (Corinne Masiero) house. (Audiard purposefully avoids explaining any of Alain’s backstory, preferring to focus the story on the present.) Anna, who has her own issues from stealing expired food from the grocery store she works at, feels overwhelmed at having to take care of Sam since Alain...

Ali (Schoenaerts) dreams of becoming a professional boxer. When he is suddenly put in charge of his five year old son, he moves in with his sister for support. Whilst working as a nightclub bouncer, he meets the beautiful and confident killer whale trainer, Stephanie (Cotillard). He gives her his number, not expecting that she will ever call.

They are two people accustomed to ruling their physical domains with muscle, sex and beauty. They don't ask themselves a lot of questions about what could stand some improvement in their inner lives. They will rely the powers given them. Ali is powerfully-built and roughly handsome. He dreams of becoming a champion of mixed martial arts fighting. At present he is a nightclub bouncer, firmly exercising control over the hopefuls swimming out of the night. Stéphanie is a trainer at a seaquarium, using body language and dead fish to command a tank filled with whales to rise up from the water. They live near Cannes, celebrated for launching more successful people up a red carpet.

Chicago – It’s been three years since Jacques Audiard made a sizable splash in American art houses with “A Prophet,” a spellbinding picture that certainly ranks as one of the great crime films of the last decade. By following an Arab youth through his punishing sentence in a French prison, it provided audiences with an unforgettable portrait of corrupted innocence.
Rating: 2.0/5.0
Devoid of escapist shortcuts, Audiard’s anti-hero was forced to commit acts of unspeakable evil in order to ensure his survival. By the time he was freed, the once vulnerable subordinate was a formidable mafia kingpin, thus inferring that the prison system creates criminals rather than cures them. Prison stuck to the film’s protagonist like an irreparable wound. The question wasn’t how to remedy the wound, it was how to live with it.

Jacques Audiard’s Rust and Bone is a beautifully shot film, filled with unexpected turns, raw scenes of bloody violence and emotion, and contains some of the best performances of the year. Based on Craig Davidson’s short story collection of the same name, the film focuses on aimless sometimes-professional fighter Ali (Matthias Schoenaerts) and his adorable five-year-old son Sam (the gifted Armand Verdure in his film début), who are in somewhat dire straits. Ali has just recently taken responsibility for the boy from his mother (who is never seen) and feeds him from other people’s garbage that he finds on a train they take en route to live with his sister Louise (Céline Sallette). When working as a bouncer at a club one evening, Ali intervenes in a scuffle involving the beautiful Stéphanie (Marion Cotillard), who he eventually drives home. She lives with her boyfriend, but Ali still leaves his number in case she ever...

Jacques Audiard follows up his fantastic 2009 feature A Prophet in exemplary fashion with Rust and Bone, a brutal drama that teeters on the edge of success and failure throughout, but his ability to know just the right moment to pull it back and when to go for the gut results in a stand out movie. It's a raw and animalistic feature that changes its vantage point continually. Be it the confused eyes of a young child, the fallen damsel or the brutish thug. There's power, pain, love, despair and confusion within these characters and each trait serves as a tie that binds, bringing everything together. Based on Craig Davidson's short story collection "Rust and Bone," Audiard, in a director's statement, as much as says Davidson's stories served as a tonal gateway to what ultimately became the screenplay as the two stories bear little resemblance. To that point, there is...

-- Merely the premise of "Rust and Bone" sounds uncomfortably maudlin: A wayward single father and part-time fighter falls into an unexpected romance with a beautiful whale trainer who's just lost both her legs below the knee in a freak accident. Both must undergo drastic transformations that render them as vulnerable as newborn babies. Both are literally and metaphorically broken and must help each other heal.
But it's the stripped-down way director and co-writer Jacques Audiard tells this story that, for the most part, makes it more compelling than the feel-good plot suggests. With intimate camerawork that explores the lonely corners of his characters' lives and a prevalent naturalism, Audiard avoids trite, sentimental uplift. This isn't as powerful as his epic, gripping "A Prophet" from 2009 or as thrilling as 2002's "Read My Lips." But it has a quiet intensity and, ultimately, a hard-won sense of optimism.

What is it we do to survive? Who is it we love? Who is it we fight? What are the forces seen and unseen that push our lives in directions we could have never expected? These are the questions that Jacques Audiard tackles in his latest, "Rust And Bone," a beautiful, moving story of two fractured lives that somehow, together, combine into a single (if unconventional) whole. Ali (Matthias Schoenaerts) and his son Sam (Armand Verdure) are doing what they can to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. Living on the street, eating what they can find or salvage, they take refuge, and earn some semblance of stability, with Ali's estranged sister Anna (Corinne Masiero). She too is doing what she can to make ends meet, working part-time as a cashier in a supermarket, in addition to temporarily looking after dogs for a breeder. In...

An orca-related catastrophe drives Marion Cotillard into the arms of a boxer in this tremendous love story
Passion is a word casually thrown around in the movies; so few films come anywhere near it, but Jacques Audiard's film really is passionate, surging out of the screen like a tidal wave. Brutal realism is offset by romanticism, idealism, even a flawed human grandeur. There is an insistent swoon in the sunlit moments of epiphany and in the soundtrack, mixing pop tracks – Katy Perry, Bruce Springsteen, the B-52s – with a conventional orchestral score by Alexandre Desplat.
The story is adapted from short stories by the Canadian author Craig Davidson: Ali, artlessly and unselfconsciously played by newcomer Matthias Schoenaerts, is a Belgian guy who has been earning some cash as a bouncer and security guard, hoping to make it big in boxing and kickboxing.

Following its Best Picture win at the BFI London Film Festival this month, Jacques Audiard’s Rust and Bone will be arriving in UK theatres this Friday, and the anticipation couldn’t be higher.
Marion Cotillard and Matthias Schoenaerts star in what promises to be one of the year’s best films, and after catching the Us trailer for the film earlier in the month, we’ve got a new clip to share, courtesy of the Huffington Post.
“Put in charge of his young son, Ali leaves Belgium for Antibes to live with his sister and her husband as a family. Ali’s bond with Stephanie, a killer whale trainer, grows deeper after Stephanie suffers a horrible accident.”
Audiard, the BAFTA-winning writer-director behind A Prophet, is directing from a script he co-wrote with Thomas Bidegain (A Prophet), with Armand Verdure, Céline Sallette, Corinne Masiero, Bouli Lanners, and Jean-Michel Correia completing the supporting cast.

Rust and Bone follows the character of Alain (Matthias Schoenaerts) as he tries to make his way through life as best he can. We first see him with his son, Sam (Armand Verdure), on a train, collecting scrap food from receptacles. They’re heading towards his sister, Anna (Corinne Masiero), who he’s planning to stay with for a while. He ends up getting a job with a security company and has a chance encounter with a woman, Stephanie (Marion Cotillard), who trains whales at a water park. There is an accident at the park, and Stephanie ends up losing her legs. The film takes us through Alain’s experiences as he sees all of these relationships through. Alain is a character of much contrivance. He comes off mostly as a drifter with little to his name. His inability to pity Stephanie is what benefits her as we watch her recovery, but...

By Sean O’Connell Hollywoodnews.com: Day One of the Toronto International Film Festival is almost in the books. Three movies down, one more to go. (And that one has Kristen Stewart in it … do you think it will draw a crowd?) The festival officially “opens” Thursday evening with a screening of Rian Johnson’s “Looper” (which we reviewed earlier today). But here are some snapshot reactions to the rest of the films I’ve managed to see so far. “Amour” The Who’s lyrics resonate deeply following a screening of Michael Haneke’s “Amour” – I hope I die before I get old. Perhaps, then, I’ll be spared the grief and heartache associated with dying – feelings and experiences that are personified with gut-wrenching precision by Haneke’s two spectacular actors, Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva, in the powerful “Amour.” She plays Anne, a doting Parisian wife and former piano...

“Put in charge of his young son, Ali leaves Belgium for Antibes to live with his sister and her husband as a family. Ali’s bond with Stephanie, a killer whale trainer, grows deeper after Stephanie suffers a horrible accident.”
Audiard is directing from a script he co-wrote with Thomas Bidegain (A Prophet), with Armand Verdure, Céline Sallette, Corinne Masiero, Bouli Lanners, and Jean-Michel Correia completing the supporting cast.
Rust and Bone will be released...
