This angry young man who is so dangerous like an animal in a cage. It was a week like promoting nonviolence behavior. I was thirteen or maybe fourteen and our school showed it with Natural Born Killers. It was Romper Stomper with Russell Crowe. At the opening ceremony, I cried again and my makeup got messy.Ĭan you tell me about the first time you were moved by a film? He has something that is so human, it’s real, it hits you, you can’ protect. Every time I’m blown away and shocked by him. Since Good Morning Vietnam, I have watched all of his films. Last night we had one of my long time heroes: Forest Whitaker. It was such a powerful moment that I forgot about myself totally and I was like a mess. Jacques Audiard is one of my favorite director, he was there with Tahar Rahim. I stood up and all the cast was standing behind me. When the lights came out, I cried so much that I was wet. The movie just grabbed me and I felt so new born. Then I went in Grand Théâtre Lumière, I sat down and I didn’t know what I was going to see. I was in this big black dress like a big armor. The very first time I was in Cannes, I was very nervous, I was here because The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was out in the world and I came here. I’m going to tell about my two most powerful moments. Patricia Arquette as well, Juliette Binoche and Emily Watson. Thelma and Louise and Dead Man Walking, with Sean Penn. So even if money and fame can be offered to you, if it becomes a prison, it’s not worth anything.Īre there actors or actresses that made you want to be an actress? I think that character is really connected with me because there is this desperation for freedom above everything. And then he would say: “But that would be a golden cage” and that just stuck with me. She is like: “You can lie here, this can all be yours”. He sleeps with her and she is trying to trap him because she also has this obsession that people from the outside can get with artists. There is a beautiful scene in Barfly when he has this publisher who wants to sign him, give him a lot of money. He’s Bukowski himself, he was beaten by his dad and the words became his weapon and his freedom. When I was younger, I had this crazy obsession with Bukowski’s Barfly and I identified with Henry, a drunk and a poet, played by Mickey Rourke He has the most beautiful words. But for a theoretical description of the crimes, and an artful depiction of a carefully constructed tale, definitely check out the very chilling, very calculated, and very good From Hell.Which film character do you identify with the most? Ian Holm, Heather Graham, and Ian Richardson also provide good supporting roles.įor an historical perspective of the Jack the Ripper crimes, best to watch an A&E documentary. All the performances are strong, fitting together into an ensemble piece, with Depp being as much a chameleon as ever as Abberline, and Robbie Coltrane equally strong as his colleague Godfrey. The vicious throat-slashes and bloody crime scenes are definitely grotesque, but most of the time we are shown the crime after the fact, letting the viewer decide how horrible the murder itself was. The style of the film - dripping with violent murder of prostitutes in alleyways - leaves more to the imagination than it reveals, although the gore level is by no means light.
Johnny Depp is Inspector Abberline - an opium-smoking criminal investigator that often follows up on hunches he receives during moments of hallucinatory revelation. The Hughes brothers, noted for their stylish direction, do a very good job of creating the mood here, involving all the grunginess and hopelessness of the streets, and combining the more mystical elements of Moore's story into the crime tale.
This is not a factual display of guilt or innocence, as many of the answers behind these crimes will never be known, but as theory mixed with fact, it creates with chilling detail the mood of lower-class London in the late nineteenth century, where life was cheap, bloody and oftentimes short. Based on an ambitious graphic novel written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Eddie Campbell, From Hell (named for the signature on the Jack the Ripper letters written to the police), is one man's carefully researched theory into the eternal mystery surrounding the Whitechapel murders of 1888.
From Hell is a project that takes both of those truisms and tosses them completely out the window. One of these is 'comic books are pure fluff,' and another is 'no good movie is ever based on a comic book'. There are many things in media that have nearly insurmountable preconceptions that lead to generic truisms.
