Under covid illness I watched The White Crow at the weekend (story of
Rudolf Nureyev.
Decent‘European cinema’ type vibe but acting was a little flat (think the main actor was a dancer rather than pure actor).
However one of the actresses stood out
- Adèle Exarchopoulos (Google her).
Obviously headed straight to IMDB...
She was in a (slightly controversial) movie called Blue Is The Warmest Colour and it was incredible (I know there’s an extended sex scene....).
Performances that just destroy anything you see on a day to day basis & a story that sits under your skin for days afterwards like a really good book.
Stunning. Reminded why I used to love French cinema...striking & earthy acting compared to over egged acting you usually see.
