It turns out though the clip is real. Both films revolve around a script and an older actress feeling threatened by a young starlet. It's similar to the other films in some ways many of the characters are actors, bounds between professional and personal relationships are not clear, etc. Even the camera angle is pretty much the same when Maria hikes there with Rosa and later when she again hikes there with Val; we see both pairs of people momentarily drop out of view as the trail drops down through the same ravine. The film and the play-within-the-film are not identical though. And, yeah, Doug, you have to be fairly out of the loop to think the conventional wisdom is that Kristen Stewart ruins movies.
A significant portion of Opening Night unfolds inside a real theater, with some events visible to the audience and others strictly backstage. There might also be a subtext of alcoholism. The modeling is only loose, for just one example the real Fassbinder did not have the same sense of privacy. It has green intertitles in German, is bracketed by brief additional opening and ending credits, and contains a brand new soundtrack of modernistic music composed especially for this version which emphasizes a flugelhorn. The play-within-the-film is called The Maloja Snake and has two principal characters: Sigrid and Helena. London's Institute of Contemporary Arts has a very large and significant film program, with films showing anywhere from one day to several weeks, often at the same time as other films.
Two women hug and seem awkward. Now with the expert and engaging Clouds of Sils Maria we witness a middle-aged actress, Maria Juliette Binoche , contend with both her 20-year return to the same play but as the older character and the energy of a personal assistant, Valentine Kristen Stewart , that reminds Maria of time's passage and the changes in her profession. For example a product placement scene for Chanel one of the investors , which could easily have been a klunky interruption of the flow, is blended into the story so well that we hardly notice it. Maria struggles to accept the fact that she's no longer 20, a task that's made more difficult when she learns that the younger role will go to an American starlet , a fixture on the celebrity gossip circuit who seems to spark chaos wherever she goes. He loves foreign films, westerns, war flicks, and has read nearly every word J. Parents need to know that Personal Shopper is a dramatic thriller about a woman living in Paris who works as a personal shopper for a model and is trying to contact her dead twin brother's ghost.

What does that say about the characters' existence? But Personal Shopper steps directly into the supernatural as well, treating it not as a jump-scare gimmick but simply as a reality. Maria is a middle-aged veteran of stage and screen who got her big break decades earlier playing the young ingenue in a play. The application that displays maps and schedules and times is named Mappy, which is the real service widely used in Europe. And I suspect the similarity of the play's name and the character's name - Clouds of Sils Maria and Maria Enders - was intentional although it's not in the least bit clear to me just what it might mean.
In Europe attitudes toward alcohol are typically much more relaxed than in the U. The visual details are there too, for example we know the cars really use gasoline because of the scene in the gas station. All About Eve is a classic I have enjoyed many times. It has the same green German intertitles. Nos últimos 10 dias, os dignatários foram submetidos a cenas de alcoolismo e tortura, incesto e lutas religiosas.
A much simpler interpretation: distorted and constrained vision, sensitivity to sound, a long face and intimations of physical pain, throwing up, and collapsing unconscious after managing to stay awake and drive for two hours, are all nothing more than symptoms of a bad hangover. Val Fex is indeed a side valley within a short distance of Sils-Maria. But back then she played the role of Sigrid, an alluring young girl who disarms and eventually drives her boss Helena to suicide. Yet the camera never gives the feeling either of being noticeably shaky or of being constrained to some track. Ele diz aos convidados que a grande arte vale a pena o esforço e que os atores são uma raça nobre, um corte acima da maioria.

The blending is particularly evident when they're rehearsing. Much more likely is that all the tension of the age difference, the divergent interests, the contrasting styles, the dissimilar approaches to technology, and the mismatched professional goals, is what really mattered; and Maria -perhaps unconsciously- hit on lesbianism as one possible way to cope with and somewhat reduce that tension.
