I’ve written a lot about Matthias Schoenaerts over the years. From Bullhead to Rust and Bone (which I went really long on here), to 2016’s Disorder (which I reviewed for Ebert).
I decided to discuss Schoenaerts’ work – especially his gift for playing tormented bound-up masculinity – for having insight into what’s really going on there – for my new column at Film Comment.
I loved him in A Bigger Splash. I thought that was an incredible film and his role was such a tricky balancing act between loving his partner and understanding her; which are two entirely different things. His performance was sublime. Truly genius.
Jack – yes, he was so wonderful in that! He’s so subtle, I love the choices he makes. I loved that movie, in general.
