[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Film Thoughts

[Heather Moore]

Alan Rickman has always had an extremely appealing
grace with his... uhm... "swooping."  Go back and
watch ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES to see how
graceful he is with these exagerrated gestures the
Sheriff was always doing (loping down corridors in a
fury, waving his arms about and grabbing things,
etc.). I should imagine this has to do with Rickman's
long stage experience.
 
Just imagine if he had really been given the John
Malkovich role (which *Rickman* created on the stage)
in the movie version of DANGEROUS LIAISONS, how much
easier it would have been to understand Cecile and
What's-her-name de Tourvel's infatuation, and the
Marquise's obsession, with Valmont.)

One final recommendation to savor Rickman's control is
CLOSET LAND. But a note of warning: this is an Amnesty
International-sponsored movie about the torture
session of a young female writer living during a
fascist coup. Very minimalist and very brutal, and
Rickman plays an unbelievably cruel official. It's
difficult to watch. And yet he still somehow manages
to be disturbingly attractive; it's an amazing
performance.
