She seems to have a desire to push herself as an artist which saw her performing a dance piece with Akram Khan recently. On film, there's something utterly charming about her, a rare commodity these days, and she has an amazing versatility which I've hinted at in this review. <br /><br />It is mostly static camera work, as you mention Pen Name, and almost exclusively the two actors, just talking. Interviewed about it recently, Binoche said it's like watching an entire relationship condensed and played out in less than two hours. That goes some way to explain where the energy comes from in the film. It's intense.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting Philip, I look forward to more. There's an amazing review of C in the LRB right now which you can find <a href="http://www.lrb.co.uk/v32/n17/jenny-turner/seeing-things-flat" rel="nofollow">here</a>. If that doesn't make you want to read the book, complete with non-sensible cover, then nothing will.William Rycrofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15056188088340973039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534509012046591314.post-86502041261788434652010-09-01T21:19:05.145+01:002010-09-01T21:19:05.145+01:00thanks for that. I seldom comment on your blog but...thanks for that. I seldom comment on your blog but enjoy every post. I have resolved to comment more often. Really enjoyed your reviews of the booker list by the way. But will wait till C is out in a sensible cover.<br />thanks again.<br />PhilipPhilip Doddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13164671362164285231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534509012046591314.post-20796412953409275992010-09-01T19:49:47.155+01:002010-09-01T19:49:47.155+01:00I saw some of Kiarostami's work in film school...I saw some of Kiarostami's work in film school and was very taken with how very much he does with a bare-bones premise. His films seem to radiate with urgency even though they are completely controlled (with mostly static camerawork, if I recall).<br /><br />I'm also with your above commenter on the virtues of her performance in Three Colors: Blue. What's great about her performance there is that she is reserved when the script would seem to be calling for showy emotion and falls apart inexplicably.Pen Namehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14412396178151097305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534509012046591314.post-82893735052920381312010-09-01T17:59:30.377+01:002010-09-01T17:59:30.377+01:00sounbds good william ,have enjoyed binoche other w...sounbds good william ,have enjoyed binoche other work three colour blue she was great and being two hander reminds me a bit of before sunsetAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
