Yes thanks SwingBatta..I have already got Cosette saved on youtube but haven't got around to watching it yet..I think there are a couple of other early shorts she made out there too somewhere which I need to find.
LifeVsArt.."intense" is a very good word to describe my viewing habits towards Mia over the last couple of months,hah!..she's taken me on a rollercoaster..I think my favourite performance so far would be between India and Agatha Weiss..she plays a lot of "loners" ~ who I always find much more interesting (on screen and in real life ~ like you want to dive in and save them ~ so to speak).
Do you two have any particular favourites? -

Really good point, Hurricane_Marcus - her characters tend to be social outsiders - they're not joiners, they march to their own drummer, whether it be Jane Eyre, India Stoker, Robyn Davidson or most of them. I would point to Ava from "Only Lovers Left Alive", who seems quite trendy and happy with the social structure, as not being a loner, quite the opposite. Of course, what she's adapted to is contemporary vampire society.
I don't know if I can pick any favorites. The very first performance I saw her in was as Sophie in "In Treatment" - and that made a very deep impression on me. She probably had more dialogue in those nine half hour shows than all of her other films put together. But so many of her other movies, from "Jane Eyre" on, have impressed me as much, just in a completely different way. In "Tracks" she barely speaks, but words aren't necessary in film, especially when the eyes are able to express so much. -

Yeah,Ava was probably the character least like anything she's done previously or since and like you say ~ the eyes can say a thousand things more than words ~ especially hers.
I am besotted.(sighs). -

Finally got around to watching Cosette,I love Sarah Jane and Skin at the weekend..even at that age (I think she was around 15?) you could see she had something magical and totally mesmerising about her.

I was wondering if by now you've managed to see "September" - if you have I would like to know where it can be viewed. I've been curious about it for quite a while. I'm also hoping to eventually see the animated "The Nightingale and the Rose", where Mia voices the central character. -

I completely agree, she is one my favorites because she is different then the majority of Hollywood actresses. There are so many loud, uber-sexy or giddy, ridiculous cutesy types and Mia stands out by being more introverted, thoughtful, and poised. She is outstanding!

Yes, her innocence. I was just watching
Alice Through the Looking Glass
and my she carries the movie on her shoulders because of her emotions. Getting better and better.
I wish I would see more in the future.
to her!
