Made in Belgium

For months I have been anticipating the release of the latest Marion Cotillard vehicle, Rust and Bone, because her performance in the film is said to be fantastic.

Now, I won’t lie, though – there’s also the matter of Matthias Schoenaerts, the Oscar winners Belgian co-star. The guy just has this look that does it...that makes it jiggle.

He looks like a bad boy. With a hot a bod and irresistible puppy eyes.

Guess thats why the call him the Belgian Brando.

Which is probably why director Jacques Audiard (A Prophet) cast him in the film. I bet his character, Ali, a broken bare-knuckle boxer and bouncer, had to be believable as someone so unlikely to form a bond with Cotillard’s literally pulled apart killer whale trainer that it makes perfect sense they would be drawn together.

I mean, look at the guy.

It so sucks Imma gon’ have to wait a bit longer now since I’m not in the United States at the moment (the film opens in Miami on Jan. 11).
