what a way to go!!! Ingrid Bergman goes beyond the text and transcends every fiber of emotion in her being it’s maybe THE performance on any film i’ve seen.
Liv Ullman transformation from the harmless daughter to finally facing her mother is smartly thought out… the script is beautiful, the monologues are a delight.
Few performances in recent memory have left such an indelible mark as Zelda Samson’s astonishing debut in *Love According to Dalva*. Her transformation—no, her *metamorphosis*—is the very soul of this film. She begins as a girl unnaturally molded into the rigid form of a “lady,” her gestures eerily poised, her demeanor unsettlingly composed. But as the film unfolds, we witness something miraculous: Dalva unspooling, unraveling, reclaiming her childhood in a performance so *monumental*, so *soul-shaking*, that it stands as *the*…
and in the death of her reputation, she felt truly alive.
decided to watch this after getting bit by the folklore bug.
it really bothers me that great artists, with great songwriting skills, outstanding stage presence & vocal talent don’t have the same success as T-Swift. when your back-up singers have more vocal skills than the headliner... you know the show is in trouble.
the technical value... superb. loved the audience editing, really set the tone for all the songs.
