I added gorgeous full HD Blu-ray screencaptures of Marion Cotillard as Stéphanie in ‘Rust and Bone‘ (De rouille et d’os). If you can be sure to obtain a French DVD/Blu-ray too to watch this amazing performance. The movie is also out in theatres at the moment in the UK, Italy, and German speaking Switzerland. Soon it will open in the US as well!

‘Rust and Bone‘ (De rouille et d’os) was released on DVD, Collector’s DVD and Blu-ray in France last Wednesday. While the regular DVD only includes an audio commentary from the writers Jacques Audiard and Thomas Bidegain both the Collector’s 2-DVD edition and the Blu-ray include some additional extras. My Blu-ray arrived today and I’ve added screencaps of all the extras (which are only in DVD quality). Be sure to check back later for HD screencaptures of the actual movie.

French TV channel TF1 used Marion Cotillard’s first public appearance in her home country since the Cannes Film Festival in May for a report during 50mn inside about her status as a star and actress, analyzing her choices such as taking a break from acting while showing footage of various events from this and past years. They pointed out that promoting Rust and Bone publicly and on talk shows could well lead to a new Oscar nomination. Furthermore, they discussed her collaboration with Dior. All in all, they said Marion Cotillard does what she wants – she’s thus an actrice libre – a free actress. Thanks to Luise for the clip!

By the way, gossip column Page Six from the New York Post reports that Marion, while making it to Thursday’s Rust and Bone screening in New York, was also delayed because of the snow storm. So she spent Wednesday night in a hotel in Detroit. I hope her lost luggage has since turned up.

This totally slipped my mind. But on October 19 Dior Magazine announced the new Lady Dior campaign featuring Marion Cotillard. After a number of world cities Lady Dior has now visited the Hamptons and photographer Jean-Baptiste Mondino captured her on the beach. Ads started appearing on the last October weekend in magazines such as Japanese Vogue, Elle, 25 Ans, Numéro, Italian Vogue, Vanity Fair U.S., Town & Country, Interview, American and French Elles and Madame Figaro (source).

As previously announced, Marion Cotillard attended the Unveiling of the Dior Christmas Window Displays at the Parisian department store Printemps Haussmann yesterday early evening.

At the event she also talked about Christmas and travelling:

It was a bit of a battle for my mother. I didn’t really like Christmas when I was little, so I didn’t want any gifts, so the tradition was my mother figuring out how she was going to get me to pick something. Gifts are something I prefer to give. It’s always nice to get one, but I like searching for a present, I like thinking of a person and finding that special something that they are going to like.

Well, you know, you sleep, you rest. People live in terrible situations. Traveling is not that terrible.

On her way from the US west coast to France, Marion Cotillard attended a screening of ‘Rust and Bone‘ (De rouille et d’os) at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema in New York on Thursday evening. It was hosted by The Cinema Society with Dior & Vanity Fair. She was wearing a transparent Christian Dior Spring 2013 dress with black pointy Dior heels (which reportedly caused some problems). Co-star Matthias Schoenaerts & director Jacques Audiard were delayed due to the snowstorm and only arrived in time for the after party at Indochine – which Marion however had to miss since she had to catch her flight to France.

On the red carpet Vulture asked Marion Cotillard about how she feels when she hears the Katy Perry song ‘Firework’:
