Rust and Bone
In 2016, Cotillard played Gabrielle, a free-spirited woman in a convenience marriage, in Nicole Garcia's "From the Land of the Moon" ("Mal de Pierres"), an adaptation of the bestselling Italian novel "Mal di Pietre" by Milena Agus, which marked her return to French cinema after 2012's "Rust and Bone", and earned her a seventh César Award nomination. She also obtained the part of Catherine, the sister-in-law of a 34-year-old gay playwright, in Xavier Dolan's "It's Only the End of the World" ("Juste la fin du Monde"). Both films premiered in the main competition section of the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, to polarized reactions from critics.
