With the Toronto, Venice, New York and Telluride Film Festivals having already concluded, the Oscar race continues to be a question mark as there is no clear front runner. One of the races that will be among the most debated is the Best Actor race as it is always competitive in its scope.
The New York Film Festival came to a close this past weekend. The event featured some of the finest films of the year, including some incredible classics.
Latin Post had the opportunity of speaking with the actress Laia Costa about her work with the director, working with no script and improvising with the one take.
All in all, this was an unforgettable night with riveting performances. It is a shame that there will not be an HD recording for Radvanovsky's interpretation as it is sure to be legendary in years to come. With such a triumph as Anna, it is hard not to look forward to "Maria Stuarda" and "Roberto Devereux," two works that include some of Donizetti's most irresistible and mature music.
"Victoria" is triumph on many levels and is definitely a movie that most will be talking about for years. Schipper, Costa and the rest of the team have created a movie for the ages that shows just how exhilirating a movie shot in one take can truly be.
Immigration is one of the most sought after topics currently being debated in the political landscapes and is also being seen throughout the world. It is also the subject of the latest film by John Crowley, "Brooklyn" which is premiering at the New York Film Festival and scoring rave reviews.
With the Toronto, Venice and Telluride Film festivals finished and with the New York Film Festival in its final week it is clear to state that the Oscar race is very much an open competition this year with no front runner coming out of these festivals. The Best Actress race is actually looking to be among the most competitive in years.
Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away fans complained that George Lucas had damaged their beloved original trilogy by bringing a series of changes on the films and then adding in the prequels to alter their perceptions of their original characters.
Overall this is a solid movie that was conceived to entertain and leave audiences with smiles and a positive vive. For those looking for something deeper, "Gravity" and "Interstellar" will likely be better suited. However, it is great to have Ridley Scott back at the top of his directorial powers.
