“Rust’s Tragedy Echoes Throughout the Film”

At the Camerimage International Film Festival in Toruń, Poland, the world premiere of Rust took place, three years after cinematographer Halyna Hutchins tragically lost her life on set. The film, once surrounded by legal drama and heartbreak, has become a morbid curiosity for many. The audience included Hutchins’s friends and family, there to honor her legacy. The screening was filled with both grief and support, as the crowd stood in silence to remember her.

Despite the film’s troubled history, Rust is still a compelling western about guilt, family, and law. Alec Baldwin stars in the lead role, but his performance was overshadowed by the tragedy. The film’s visuals, especially the work done by Bianca Cline, are a testament to Hutchins’s dedication to her craft. However, Rust still struggles to balance its storylines and the emotional weight that hangs over it.

After the screening, discussions focused on Hutchins’s legacy. The film’s future remains uncertain, but whenever it reaches audiences, it will likely stir morbid curiosity and reflection. The film ends with a heart-wrenching quote from Hutchins: “What can we do to make this better?”
