Cate Blanchett: Queen of the screen (2)



"Blanchett prowls the stage with a splendid combination of restless energy and helpless languor. She is like a beautiful but dangerous animal... it is marvellous to watch," The Australian wrote of her performance last year as Hedda Gabler in a Sydney Theatre Company production of Ibsen's play in a new adaptation by her husband, Andrew Upton. When the play transferred to Broadway, The New York Times was equally complimentary, calling Blanchett "a moody perpetual motion machine, twirling among several centuries' worth of acting styles. She variously brings to mind the deep-toned grandeur of a Bernhardt or Duse, the refined screwball stylings of Katharine Hepburn and a very contemporary self-satirising malcontent (/MAL/conTENT). All of which would be merely entertaining or irritating... except for the instances of genuine, revelatory brilliance that suddenly sear the air like a camera flash."





Tragic Muses - Monica Vitti and Anna Karina



Monica Vitti is the nea plus ultra of erotic angst; forget the upholstered infeasibly Anita Ekberg, or the studied sophistication of Sophia Loren – here is the definite gorgeous article. In her work with Antonioni she epitomized the dispassionate (yet passionate) beautiful victim/observer of alienation and ennui; away from Antonioni she was rarely as compelling although she worked for other great directors including Bunuel on the The Phantom of Liberty (1974).
