in Jane Campions 'In The Cut'
First time I saw him.
What a fantastic line-up this film has!!!
Follow Ups:
He makes that film, which was unfairly maligned (I don't generally like this line of argumentation, but in this case I think it's true) by male film critics who came to the film expecting to be indicted by some kind of feminist manifesto. I think Meg Ryan, who would otherwise have been praised for taking on the challenge of her role, was grossly abused by the critics.Jennifer Jason Leigh turned in a great performance as well.
The film isn't perfect--it suffers from pretension here and there, but, for example, I don't think Ryan's character was supposed to be entirely sympathetic; if the viewer find her hard to bear, credit that as intentional. But stylistically it's exactly what's missing from films of that genre today.
....thanks, you are able to express what I'm can't!I thought it was really a very good 'polar' in the same way that that film Panic, with W.C.Macy, was.
