I’ve Loved You So Long is the new Kristin Scott Thomas film. Give her props, and English actress starring in a French film!
I’ve always loved Thomas, ever since The English Patient. She’s one of the least respected actresses out there. She has a coldness about her that could turn people off, but when she opens up on film, while maintaining that coldness, she has more emotional depth then ten Meryl Streep performances combined. This is so true in I’ve Loved You So Long.
It’s about Juliette (Thomas), who just got released from prison after serving 15 years for the murder of her 6 year old son. She’s released to her younger sister whom she’s had little contact over the years. Through out the film Juliette begins to build a new life for herself, while confronting the old one she used to lead.
The film can be slow to get going, and there’s a lot of quiet, reflection shots of Thomas, but it’s totally worth it. Thomas is the modern day Ingrid Bergman, let’s just hope she gets recognized for her greatness as much as Bergman did in her day (3 Oscars, not too shabby!).
Thomas is certainly in the mix for my list of potential 2008 Oscar nominee’s for Best Actress.
