Yo...Yes, Ruth, i agree - Swinton is extraordinary.<br /><br />You have intrigued me about Sandrine Bonnaire; I must check out that film.The Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-44226345955261184572011-10-24T10:02:46.085+01:002011-10-24T10:02:46.085+01:00I probably won't see this, only because I have...I probably won't see this, only because I have difficulty with the disturbing part of it, not out of any moralistic reasons. it does sound very good and reminds me of the film I was impressed with years ago with her called "The Deep End" about a son who possibly committed murder. She is absolutely mesmerizing.<br /><br />Another fine actress I enjoyed last evening for the first time is Sandrine Bonnaire. If you haven't seen "Queen to Play" with her and Kevin Klein, it is wonderful. French, called "Joueuse" from 2009.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-19345599367564706942011-10-24T09:29:46.234+01:002011-10-24T09:29:46.234+01:00Thanks, Jan, for your comment.Thanks, Jan, for your comment.The Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-66293161737459267212011-10-23T17:13:57.610+01:002011-10-23T17:13:57.610+01:00One of my favourite books.

Like you, I'm always interesting in seeing the artistry of Tilda Swinton. Loved her performance last year in "I am Love.'<br /><br />By "the way," have you seen "The Way," the new film about the camino by actors Martin Sheen and his son, Emilio Estevez? While the film was released in Toronto last year, it wasn't released in the U.S. until last week. <br /><br />While "The Way" is more of a Hollywood production (everyone is well-coiffed and there are few nuances), I think you would enjoy it nonetheless because (1) there is some beautiful film footage of the Camino Frances, and (2) the story involves the way in which four solitaries on the camino rediscover themselves while discovering each other.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959953035812596907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-61496693539238984222011-10-23T11:35:42.724+01:002011-10-23T11:35:42.724+01:00I read the novel a few years back - it is an excel...I read the novel a few years back - it is an excellent piece of work.
