The Clouds of Sils Maria is a fascinating journey about the way a female star skyrockets to stardom in youth and plateaus in middle age. Juliette Binoche takes the role head-on and allows herself to be completely exposed. Kristen Stewart plays her personal assistant and life imitates art throughout the picture. Bella Swan is in some ways Chloe Grace Moretz's character. The mega-star comic book heroine. Moretz knows how to satisfy Binoche in a key scene when they first meet. Moretz endlessly compliments Binoche on her achievements and cites that she is the reason she wanted to become an actress.
The lines that are read in the film within a film between Stewart and Binoche are captivating. The French are absolutely correct to give Stewart a Cesar for this performance. Stewart shows the depth and holds her own with Binoche as the two women joust in a remote chalet in the Swiss Alps. The clouds become a character in this film. The snake is an splendid experience to witness as a filmgoer. Oliver Assayas exposes all the haunting qualities of celebrity from youth to middle-age. He was great in making Something in the Air about the music scene and politics in France. Boarding Gate by him as well happens to star my favorite actor of all time Michael Madsen and the powerhouse Asia Argento is another terrific experience.
The Clouds of Sils Maria belongs to the women in the film. Binoche, Stewart, and Moretz all represent different aspects of the industry and the film is a testament to their hard work, iciness, vulnerability, and glamor.
Pop the champagne to France, Switzerland, and ITALIA!!!
