What happens to Stephanie in Rust and Bone?
Stephanie, played by Marion Cotillard, works with killer whales and loses both legs after an accident during a performance. The injury reshapes her relationship with Ali, played by Matthias Schoenaerts, as the film follows both physical recovery and emotional dependence.

Why is Ali involved in underground fighting in Rust and Bone?
Ali is a rough, financially unstable father who drifts into security work and illegal bare-knuckle fights. Those fights mirror the film's larger focus on bodies under pressure, which also includes Stephanie's work with orcas and her recovery after amputation.
Where did Rust and Bone premiere?
Rust and Bone premiered in competition at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012. It later became closely associated with Marion Cotillard's performance and Jacques Audiard's follow-up to A Prophet.
