Remember me?
Presented in an aspect ratio of 2.40:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Jacques Audiard's Rust and Bone arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of StudioCanal.
Shot with the Red Epic camera, Rust and Bone looks very impressive on Blu-ray. Detail and clarity are outstanding - close-ups boast terrific depth (see screencapture #10) while the winter panoramic shots are so crisp and sharp that they often look like digital photographs (see screencapture #3). Color reproduction is also outstanding. There is a wide range of lush but earthy colors that remain stable throughout the entire film. Shadow definition is very good even during very dark sequences where the camera pans, tilts, and zooms quickly (such as the nightclub sequences from the first and second half of the film). Banding and aliasing issues are nowhere to be seen. Also, there are no serious stability issues to report in this review. To sum it all up, this is indeed a very impressive presentation of Rust and Bone that recreates the theatrical experience wonderfully well. (Note: This is a Region-B "locked" Blu-ray disc. Therefore, you must have a native Region-B or Region-Free PS3 or SA in order to access its content).
There are two audio tracks on this Blu-ray disc: French DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and French DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0. For the record, StudioCanal have provided imposed English subtitles for the main feature. They appear inside the image frame.
The lossless track is outstanding. It has a wide range of nuanced dynamics that effectively transform entire sections of the film; not necessarily by raising the dynamic intensity, but rather by exposing even seemingly minor sounds and noises. Additionally, the music is expertly balanced with the dialog. There are no problematic audio dropouts or distortions to report in this review. The English translation is excellent.
Jacques Audiard's Rust and Bone is a powerful and deeply moving film about two seemingly very different people who fall madly in love with each other. It is expertly directed and features two truly extraordinary performances by Marion Cotillard and Matthias Schoenaerts. StudioCanal's presentation of Rust and Bone is enormously satisfying. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
