France Marion Cotillard
Really odd film. A 30ish woman gets her legs severed by an orca at a tank show. After recovering some she reaches out to a guy she met once...a cretin who seems to be totally oblivious to the feelings of others but loves to fight eat and fuck. In that order. Even after it becomes clear what he is she keeps coming back for more abuse. And I guess they live happily ever after.
The performances were good, also staging, editing, camera. The problem was that she was movie-star beautiful and why she would cling to this moron was inexplicable. Because he was so stupid that he scarcely noticed her missing legs?
So the guy was a brute, a thug. She calls him an animal at one point. True enough. We get no backstory on her but have to assume she was crippled in more than one way. Which made for a strange story...two badly damaged humans staggering through life together...lurching from one crisis to another...into the sunset.
