    Assayas' casting has ulterior motives, the overlap between actors and roles, the overlap between the plot and the rehearsal in the movie, the combination of virtual and real, in the clouds and fog, it is really brilliant! Assayas is also a good actor who is good at training actors. Even Kristen Stewart and Chloe Moretz seem to have an intellectual side, haha, it depends on the director when passers-by turn to...

    The ingenious thing about the movie is that, different from other 'play within a play' movies, which pursue the perfection of inner correspondence, the perfection of correspondence in this film is broken after the inexplicable disappearance of the female assistant, and Binoche is still playing the middle-aged in her heart. Female Helena, and Chloe Moretz no longer plays the same...

    Assayas loves movies and loves actresses, and the reappearance of the Snitch is true and false in the play. This time, it is the age before the play, and there are still interpretations in life. There is less experimentation. It seems to be more traditional, but the director knows how to play with it. Ambiguity, he is conscious and reflective, young and old, the contrast between old and new movies (do not forget to play hero movies) is by no means inevitable. ) performance can transcend...

    Dramatic reality and the passage of time, elegant and brutal. Many aspects of the relationship between women can be seen in the rehearsal of the drama and life between the...

    Identity and situation are multifaceted, and structure and hierarchy intersect. An attempt at a variety of dramatic structures. The film creates a precise pattern on the outside, and is full of wisdom and sharpness in the decomposition of life and people on the inside. Out of the sensibility and the generosity of the director's personal style, five stars are...

    The role of Jo-Ann Ellis would be more appropriately played by Jennifer...

    The front and assistant parts are so good that I've been waiting for an awesome ending, but unfortunately it doesn't. . . Binoche is one of the few foreign actors who has an accent but can read English lines...

    In the fog, the real and the fake, the characters in the play are too similar to those in reality, and it is almost impossible to tell which is the drama and where is the real life, which is really...

    In 88/100, the stage and the film blended in the time roulette, giving birth to a triple mirror structure, Sigurd and Helena, like two ends of time, the snake of Maloya hovering high in the sky, carrying the flow of time to the worst. era. The female typical Maria is on the stage, staring at eternity at a...

    The same actor plays diametrically opposed roles in different time and space, and a wonderful chemical reaction occurs again in and out of the play; the subjective feeling of the linear finite life of individual human beings in the infinite spiral time: winding mountain road, polyphonic canon, circuitous Cloud Snake, the actress played by Binoche is finally invited to play a role beyond time, and the details that continue to strengthen are...

Clouds of Sils Maria quotes

  • Christopher Giles: Tastes can get worn out, kind of like desire.

  • Maria Enders: [Referring to the proposed role of Helena] Time's gone by and she can't accept it. Me neither, I guess.

    Klaus Diesterweg: There is no antagonism. It's the attraction of two women with the same wound. Sigrid and Helena are one and the same person. One and the same person. That's what the play's about. And because you were Sigrid, only you can be Helena now.

    Maria Enders: How can you be so sure?

    Klaus Diesterweg: You know as well as I do that Wilhelm Melchior had been working on a sequel for years.

    Maria Enders: Yes. But it was about Sigrid at 40 years old.

    Klaus Diesterweg: No, it was about Sigrid 20 years later became Helena.

    Maria Enders: So who's going to play Sigrid?

    Klaus Diesterweg: Jo-Ann Ellis. She did a superhero movie that just opened in the States.

    Maria Enders: And besides that?

    Klaus Diesterweg: Not much. She's 19. She's a lot more interesting that her interviews and profiles. She has a theatrical background. She doesn't want to be swallowed up by Hollywood. She admires you and is willing to pull out of her other commitments.

    Maria Enders: I'll listen carefully. But to be honest, the role scares me. Helena scares me. I'm in the middle of a divorce. I feel alone, and vulnerable. Probably too vulnerable to do this.

    Klaus Diesterweg: If you refuse, I'll understand, but it will be a missed opportunity, especially for Wilhelm.

    Maria Enders: I should get going.

    Klaus Diesterweg: Excuse me, but I won't be staying for dinner. Good evening madam.

    Maria Enders: Klaus, I have another reason. Susan Rosenberg. She played Helena with me.

    Klaus Diesterweg: I remember Susan Rosenberg.

    Maria Enders: She died in a car accident a year after. It's a superstition; I've always associated her death with Helena's suicide.

    Klaus Diesterweg: She was a lousy actress who didn't understand a thing about the role. And her conventional style of acting highlighted the modernity of your performance. You should be grateful to her.
