A woman's heart, a cloud in the sky

The mountains of Sils, Switzerland, are shrouded in mist, and these serpent-like fantasy clouds are like the heart of a woman, elusive.

There are three female characters in this film. When the

heroine Maria was 18 years old, she took over the filming of "Snake of Maloya", about the middle-aged female entrepreneur Helena, who fell in love with the young girl Xi The story of Gerd, who was finally abandoned by Sigurd and committed suicide after being traumatized. As a young Maria, her role as Sigurd became an instant hit and became Europe's most recognizable star. 20 years later, she was invited to play Helena, which created a huge psychological gap.
Maria is played by the famous French actor Juliette Binoche. The role of Maria has too many similarities with herself, so Juliet is real and natural. The heroine's entanglement and confusion at the beginning, resistance and pain, and later calmness and calmness are vividly portrayed.

The young girl Valentin is Maria's personal assistant. She temporarily played Sigurd to help Maria with the lines. As the rehearsal progressed, the relationship between the two gradually underwent subtle changes. Finally, Valentin couldn't stand Maria's criticism and left her.
The role was cast by American actress Kristen Stewart. Christine, who became famous all over the world for "Twilight", is as cool as ever. Especially her voice, deep and hoarse, reveals a strong sense of fashion. She has a strong personality and is really suitable for this role.

Starring Sigurd is Joanne, the latest teen icon. She is smart, beautiful, and casual.
The actor is Chloe Grace Moretz, a young American idol who is seven years younger than Christine. What's interesting is that in the play in this film, she also has a sci-fi scene.

Three women with different personalities perfectly performed this scene together. Play is like life, life is like play. When Maria and Valentin confronted the lines, the audience couldn't tell whether Maria was playing herself or Helena. Just like the whole play Juliet seems to be playing herself. Maybe after releasing herself in the play, Juliet will bloom more calmly at her age.
Time passes mercilessly, and it is also a pleasure to sit and watch the clouds rise calmly.

Clouds of Sils Maria quotes

  • Maria Enders: Jo-Ann?

    Jo-Ann Ellis: What's up?

    Maria Enders: I wanted to ask you. You know the scene at the beginning of Act 3 when you tell me you want to leave and I get on my knees and I beg you to stay? You're on the phone ordering pepperoncini pizza for your coworkers in accounting. You leave without looking at me. As if I didn't exist. If you could pause for a second. Helena's distress would last longer when she's left alone in her office. Well, the way you're playing it, the audience follows you out but instantly forgets about her. So...

    Jo-Ann Ellis: So? So what?

    Maria Enders: When, when I played Sigrid I held it longer. I thought it was more powerful. Erotically. I mean, it really played well.

    Jo-Ann Ellis: No one gives a fuck about Helena at that point, do they? I'm sorry, it's pretty clear to me that this woman is all washed up. I mean, your character, Maria, not you. And when Sigrid leaves Helena's office, Helena's a wreck, and we get it. You know, it's time to move on. I think they want what comes next.

    Maria Enders: If you just held it a few seconds longer.

    Jo-Ann Ellis: It doesn't really feel right for me, Maria.

    Maria Enders: You're right. Yeah. I - I - I think I'm - I'm lost in my memories. You think you've forgotten your old habits, but their all - they all come back. Have to break them.

    Jo-Ann Ellis: I guess you do!

  • Piers Roaldson: [Piers proposes new movie mutant role for Maria] I'm trying to consider genetics from a more human point of view.

    Maria Enders: When I was reading it, I imagined someone much younger. Maybe me younger, actually, but you were seeing me in movies that were made years ago. I - I've changed.

    Piers Roaldson: She has no age. Or else, she's every age at once. Like all of us.

    Maria Enders: Can I be frank? Maybe it's because I'm working with her, but as I was reading it, I - I kept thinking about Jo-Ann.

    Piers Roaldson: Yeah, well personally, I never think about Jo-Ann Ellis.

    Maria Enders: You're wrong. She's smart. And talented. She's modern, just like your character.

    Piers Roaldson: My character isn't modern. Not in that way, anyway. She's, outside of time.

    Maria Enders: Outside of time. I don't understand. It's too abstract for me. It's all right.

    Piers Roaldson: I - I don't like this era.

    Maria Enders: You're wrong. It's yours!

    Piers Roaldson: Amen! I didn't choose it.

    Maria Enders: [laughs]

    Piers Roaldson: And if my era is Jo-Ann Ellis and viral Internet scandals I think I'm entitled to feel unrelated, aren't I. I mean, it's nothing against her, I guess I just assumed you'd understand.
