Hey, Marcus,

Glad we see eye to eye on Catherine Deneuve.

Now, Diane Keaton did play a different character in at least one film in the last 10-15 years: "Marvin's Room." The movie is not all that great — very soap-operaish — but the acting is generally superb.

I'd say that's probably Keaton's best performance.

Having seen much with Michelle Pfeiffer lately. (Though I've liked her since I first saw her in "Scarface.")

Catherine has gotten much better with age whereas so many other performers keep playing the same role. Just look at Diana Keaton, she's been playing the same part since BABY BOOM. Catherine has really gone out of her way not to look for safe roles, nothing at all safe about her career in general but the variety of her most recent performances is really shocking compared to her contemporaries. The only other person I can think of even remotely close to Catherine in terms of variety and daring is Michelle Pfieffer.

Alex,

Thanks for the link. Béart is great to look at and she's a stunning talent.

And yes, do check out "8 Women." It's not for everybody, but I hope you'll find it *at least* amusing.

There's a pretty good article on Emmanuelle Béart here: The kiss of death. She's another one who's had a long career but not a lot of recognition outside of Europe. I'm looking forward to seeing "8 Women". ;)
