Arrival, Call Me By Your Name, The Shape of Water, Shirley. He‘s been in so many of my favourite films that he became like a sign of a film I’ll love. its less about wanting to see him act (although he is good) and more about how much I feel I trust his (or his agent’s) taste in choosing films.
some of my favorite movies ever were made by him in the 60s, absolute mood pieces. seen la notte (pictured) more times than I’d care to admit. the passenger with jack nicholson is also sublime.
he’s an incredible actor. I haven’t seen a film of his that I didn’t like and most end up on my favourites list. I am slightly biased because I love him but he also just adds to the film in a way that I personally haven’t experienced/seen with other actors. he’s mesmerising. I’ll be so sad when he dies.
