If it is to show the psychological changes of actresses at different ages, the complex rules of the entertainment industry, and the pursuit of newcomers in the age of entertainment, then this film is also qualified.
Except for those flashy and noisy spotlights, heavy makeup, and very personal and incomprehensible lines, the plot of the confrontation in the life of Maria and the assistant only touched me. Maria is not only immersed in the role of 20 years ago, but also into the emotions of her forty years old. She despises Helena, an aging and failed helpless woman, and in fact she has just experienced emotional setbacks. , experienced the passage of time that had to be admitted. She is no longer a fresh girl, even if her every move is free and easy to disdain the world, she can be accepted and sought after by people. For the environment in which an actor lives, she is a little detached from it, disdainful, and eager to be loved and feel the amazing eyes of people. It was the years she lost without realizing it.
When Maria was in such a complicated state of mind and she emotionally integrated into the new role, the female assistant who played opposite her completely became her emotional sustenance. Valentine has an exciting appearance, free and independent wildness, and the distance between them is less than ten centimeters. Valentin mentioned Maria's jealousy several times, as well as the line "everyone knows but she doesn't know", just like Maria herself at this time, relying on a lot without knowing it. The most wonderful thing about the plot is that the lines and life are separated, and the emotions are in the same line. What Maria was very resistant to accepting was not only the role of Helena, but also her irresistible former brilliance. Valentin was also shining and charming like her former self.
And young Sigurd, who played the role of a new actress, was dazzling like a new star. The media followed her all the time. They did not pay attention to the tribute in the film remake and Maria's changes. Instead, they paid attention to the scandal of the newcomer, just like the eyes of the entertainment industry. And Maria's request for the newcomer to stay, and the reflection of the people in the play, please stop time, please stop your eyes.

    When youth is gone, you will feel that the way you see the world is different. It's just that the world doesn't see itself the way it used to.

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.
