    I have never seen an actor who is more dramatic than Stewart in my life. Binoche is probably a typical elegant woman who gets...

    The new film of Assayas is a film about artistic reflexivity, a film about the relationship between drama and (film) reality, and between film (reality) and the real world. The meaning of this triple mirror image is the theme that the network wants to present is a flow of more than time, to be precise, the woman herself who faces the gradual change of time. Binoche took Twilight Girl and Super Killer to play their own "now" in a sense....

    4.5 I like the ambiguity when the two of them are practicing the script, the reality is mixed with the reality outside the movie, which makes people silly and unclear. The ending is so magical and ambiguous, that there are too many to think about it. Twilight Girl is really...

    The expectations of Assayas are great, and the disappointment is even greater. He failed to save Twilight Girl's facial paralysis acting, but Nostril Girl's pompous performance was very good (but I don't know if it was intentional). His most fascinated drama, the theme of female celebrities, was dragged down to the point of insensibility. There are many good moments especially Binoche, but that's...

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.
