Rust and Bone (French: De rouille et d'os) is a 2012 romantic drama film directed by Jacques Audiard, starring Marion Cotillard and Matthias Schoenaerts, based on Craig Davidson's 2005 short story collection Rust and Bone. It tells the story of a nightclub bouncer who falls in love with a woman who trains killer whales and loses her legs in a workplace accident. The film is a co-production between France and Belgium. It had its world premiere at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival where it competed for the Palme d'Or; it received positive early reviews and a ten-minute standing ovation at the end of its screening. The film was released theatrically in France and Belgium on 17 May 2012 through UGC Distribution and Lumière, respectively.

Rust and Bone received generally positive reviews from critics, especially for Cotillard's and Schoenaerts' performances. It was a critical and box office hit in France where it sold 1.9 million tickets, and was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award, two Golden Globes, two BAFTA Awards, five Lumière Awards, winning two; three Magritte Awards, and nine César Awards, winning four, including Most Promising Actor for Schoenaerts.
