It is true about an actor grossly not fitting the role, but that doesn't seem to happen in films we consider good - and there are many good examples, to the point of directors hiring local people to play major roles - usually that happens in movies about difficult lives of common people, of course, as I would not expect anyone to hire a Newport aristocrat to play Claus Vobn Bulow... althogh I must admit Jeremy Irons comes dangerously close!
Follow Ups:
you must see Barbet Shroeder's Our Lady of the Assassins: it's at least as good a film.
I've seen it twice and I look forward to seeing it again.
A middle-aged man returns to his hometown of Medellin after many years away and encounters a young person from a very different background.
Imagine a South American version of "Death in Venice" minus the self-consciousness.
Well, I didn't quite say I liked the Reversal... I thought it was just OK for a docu-drama, except of course I liked Irons there, but I added that Lady to the queue... heavens know all these discussions are not helping the queue situation much! We can realistically do about 12 Netflix films a month, that with no travel.
