Against my will, I've been forced to watch LA this evening. I find this film to be cheesy and irritating..apart from her part.
The bit where she is standing in her room after discovering that her husband has another woman. OMG. Wonderful film making.
It is a good 30 - 40 seconds of watching a woman do nothing, and yet it so beautifully charged with emotion. She blinks back her tears so her children don't see her cry. She goes to straighten the duvet as if it is a reflex action.
Then later on she tells Alan Rickman he has made "the life I lead seem foolish too". So lovely, so dignified. I also like the fact he doesn't get as far as having a physical affair, but that doesn't matter. The damage is done.
Gives me goosebumps.
