It's really the sign of an experienced and intelligent actor to me who knows that a remarkable performance isn't necessarily about milking every single scene and sort of wringing the most out of every scene that he could. It was really interesting for me to watch him work. He's really fantastic and lovely to be around. I have the utmost respect for him as an actor. What was it like working with Sir Ben Kingsley?
Plot of house of sand and fog movie#
I think the movie is largely about how we judge these characters who are on the fringes of society. She is a character who has been an addict and she's been left by her husband. Some of that is her own fault because she's proud and she doesn't want to admit her own failure, and some of it is because she is one of these characters who encounters so much judgment. She's really desperate and I think that her depression and her desperation spiral in this vortex because she has no one to bounce anything off of. She is someone who's struggling to feel that she has a place in this world and it's sort of like this house is her lifeboat that she's clinging to.
It's also an index of her failure, I think. It's a tie to her father, who was maybe the only source of real love in her life and who's now gone. Well, the house, of course, is so much more than just a house. So what makes Kathy make the choices she does and react the way she does? Well, we had a novel, of course, that was written in alternating first person, so there were basically long stretches of internal dialogue written for my character. So you knew very clearly who your character Kathy was.
I put myself through such hell if I think I'm working on something I don't know what to do with, that I feel isn't working at all. I enjoyed doing it so that's much less stress. One imagines this was an emotionally draining role. Soon she'll dive into Dark Water for the US studio remake of the Hideo Nakata's Japanese horror pic. An Oscar winner in 2002 for her performance as Russell Crowe's wife in A Beautiful Mind, she's now playing opposite Ben Kingsley in US drama House Of Sand And Fog. American actress Jennifer Connelly's return to the spotlight is every bit as unlikely as the plot for 1986 fantasy pic Labyrinth, in which she first came to prominence.
