——Reel Film Reviews
The biggest problem with the film is that it's too fake. Even with the help of makeup, Glenn Close in a man's clothes doesn't look like a man at all. Can't the people in the film see it? - Behind the scenes at
AV Club A long-cherished dream For Glenn Close, it was a long-cherished dream to play the Irishman named Albert Nobles on screen. She was first called to audition for a stage play called The Singular Life of Albert Nobbs in 1982, and the role then took root in Glenn In Cross's mind, she always wanted to adapt this story to the screen. In fact, not only the star, Glenn Close is also the screenwriter of the film. In her script, Albert Nobles is portrayed as a stoic, shy, indifferent and passionate woman.
Glenn Close said: "I feel so surreal because of the amount of time that has passed from 1982 to the present, with so many people working on it, it's overwhelming. Ordinary. Every morning when I come to the set and see so many busy crews, I feel like I'm in a different world. In my opinion, making this film is risky because how exactly do I shape it? What about Albert Nobles? How much expression and content do I need to show on my face? Because on her face, there is often no expression. Actually, Nobles is a visionary, she often fantasizes about herself one day Can make enough money to open a small shop or live by the sea. It's a very strange story because the movie makes people go to the fantasy of the novel while enjoying it. So, I think it's a very good It's a very erotic movie, and it's well worth our work and effort."
The character of Albert Nobles, in simple terms, is very much like an "out-of-body" person, she is not the person she appears to be. , she has always lived with a mask. "Her soul is separate from her body," Clos said. "When she puts on a man's clothes, she feels comfortable; but when she puts on a woman's clothes, she doesn't know what to do. That's what I want to show. A little bit, and this is also a difficult point. So George Moore called her a neutral person.”
Imagination and reality
The director of the film is Colombian Rodrigo Garcia, the son of the famous García Márquez. Because of the protection of the big tree, Garcia has been able to contact many big directors, such as Buñuel, etc., in the living room he has added since he was a child. Under the influence of his own family, Garcia embarked on the road of literary and artistic creation very early, and in his works, female images have always occupied an important proportion. Garcia said: "In this film, I focus on portraying the image of women. I often fantasize that I am the heroine, and then I will design a lot of shots and stories and so on. I am happy that many people feel that My idea is pretty good. I put a lot of familiar female images in my life into the role of the film. However, I don't mean to say that I need this character to be so, but I use a fantasy and An authentic way to create this character."
Talking about working with old and new actors like Glenn Close and Mia Wasikowska, Garcia said: "When you work with Glenn Close, you feel that acting is a A very short answer and Glenn Close always gets everything done easily. Close is a very interesting person and she keeps an eye on people's lives and what's going on all the time and will chat Come up with your own ideas. So, those who have been in contact with him have been 'interrogated and questioned' by her. Young Mia is a very talented actress, she works hard and is serious. I think She already has what it takes to be an A-list star. I saw her in Jane Eyre and it was a great movie, Jane Eyre is a very difficult character to play. In this movie, Mi Ya's performance is very stable. I think she has really changed from a girl to an actress in the past two years." The film is adapted from George Moore's short story "Albert Nobles
