In Reply to: Indie films are ruining my marriage! ;-) posted by Aurelio S. on May 31, 2001 at 10:16:26:
Problem with that film is that Albertha Watson is just too beautiful for that role. No, strike that, she is simply gorgeous, sort of in the best tradition of young Jacqueline Bisset.That makes for a very interesting split. I would dare say that all males watch her in that film and dream of having an afair with her, disregarding the fact that she is boy's mother. They feel the boy is just plain lucky and don't get his conflict...
Women on the other hand will naturally see it for what it is, and the disgusting nature of the relationship will be all too painfully obvious to them.
Follow Ups:
You're right, Victor. I see the "Bissett" quality to her! Indeed she is stunning and, IMO, was perfect in the role as Jeremy Davies' mother. Although she's beautiful, I think the movie did a good job of capturing the "motherly" side of her along with that bit of "sexiness" to her. I'm sure glad they didn't pick someone less attractive ;-)When IFC showed StM, they gave some trivia facts during commercial breaks. I remember reading that director Russell went through an ungodly number of women who turned down the role (something like 200 or so) before Watson accepted. Phew! Thank you, Alberta! They also mentioned that Russell spent 7 years in therapy as a young man. Didn't go into detail, but one has to wonder why?
Nevertheless, a great movie that does a great job of showing the emotional struggles that young men go through (incest bit aside of course).
Especially, awkward, shy young men (not that I was one ;-)
