"Rust and Bone" premieres at AFI Fest

The 2012 AFI Fest continued in Los Angeles on Monday night with a gala screening of the French-Belgian film "Rust and Bone."

Marion Cotillard walked the red carpet at the event, along with co-star Matthias Schoenaerts and director Jacques Audiard.

The film, based on Craig Davidson's short story collection of the same name, centers around a man (Schoenaerts) who falls in love with a killer whale trainer (Cotillard) recovering from a horrific accident.

"Rust and Bone" premiered at the Cannes Film Festival back in May, where it competed for the Palme d'Or prize. Reviews of the film have been mostly positive.

The film opens in U.S. theaters in limited release on Nov. 22.
