Two-ish weeks ago I watch Alice Rohrwacher’s new film, La Chimera. I can’t say I loved it but I’m glad to have seen it because it help me codify something I’ve been chewing on about contemporary movies: Stare Acting. Stare Acting is how I describe a certain kind of muted and mysterious portrayal of emotional depth.
Furiosa was stare acting to the point where it felt like an action movie where nothing happened.
Furiosa is a great example of this!
