B.L. is brilliant in that it centers on a character that is completely unlikeable and evil, and is completely unrelenting until the end until it's revealed as a (bizarre) spiritual tale about sacrifice and redemption.
Keitel should've won an Oscar for this performance, it's easily the best he's done.

I never said a word about Abel. I just think very highly of that film.
The Piano bored me to tears.

do you like any of Ferrara's other films as well? The Funeral, The Addiction, King of New York, New Rose Hotel...there's more, but those are the ones i've seen...i keep trying because everybody says he's such a genius but i can't relate...Cail wrote:I never said a word about Abel.

so The Piano was boring to men? sexual tension is boring?

The only other film of his I've seen was Body Snatchers, wich was rather clever, but inferior to the Sutherland version.

John Ritter in Sling Blade was a revelation.
Kris Kristofferson in Trouble In Mind.
Genevive Bujold also from Trouble In Mind.

I don't know why guys weird on The Piano--too quiet? Well what do you expect with a woman who never talks...Man's historical treatment of women--quilt? (Holly Hunter does have a way of intimidating or weirding out men...tho...I can't put my finger on it--too hard core? hmmm...) I thought it was a brilliant period piece, Anna Panquin was great and so were Sam and HK. You guys know me--I love everything Sam's in--even if it's crap--I can't help it...

Holly Hunter was awesome (and made me want to touch myself) in A Life Less Ordinary.

Holly Hunter was also great in Crash and Home For the Holidays. and Once Around as well.

Interestingly enough, this month's Premier has the same topic as I started: 100 Greatest Performances of all Time.
Intersting list. Don't agree with about half of them, especially since it is missing my pick in F. Murray Abraham in Amadeus. BUT, I actually do agree with their #1 pick (and am ashamed I did not remember it)
Peter O'Toole in Lawrence of Arabia.
