are you purposefully being recalcitrant?
And you continue to be unfair, afilado my friend. I SPECIFICALLY specified the six actors I mentioned as being unmatched by American actors. You replied by listing a bunch of American supporting actors or leads that have made their living playing quirky/edgy, i.e. Hoffman, Keener.
I continue to smack your softballs over the fence and it is you who then change the subject or construct yet another straw man.
Danish film in the 90s was very fine, indeed. It carried on, somewhat, in the early 2000s but now seems to be in decline, as the Danes themselves now are scrambling to right what many feel is a listing national film association.
American actors are at a great disadvantage. They attend schools where a certain type of acting is taught. There is very little avant garde stage work to destroy the old and usher in a fresher acting style. So, we get mannerisms now legitimized for generations. I can't stand it.
