      Cameo, the fun is that you have to seriously wait for this person to appear, because you don't know when he will appear, wait for you to take a sip or wink, or go to the toilet, he This is a physical and mental game that requires passion and patience. Let’s play it if you have enough. Of course, making good use of the pause button is the nirvana to clear the game. The tragedy is that you can't walk away or turn off the TV and computer immediately after he...

      Francis - a boiling, loving soul

      Soft, sweet voice, hard, strong character, in her eyes, these mundane, rude, and even vulgar people who use tricks happen to cause her to be insulted and hurt. And they called her "a blond maniac", noble but crazy, the beautiful embodiment of their fascination, and the object they were ready to cast aside and destroy. "I refuse to be who you want me to be - dull, ordinary, normal"

      The lover, the patron who had tried to save her, took her from the nursing home, from the...

      Lange's performance is very solid and heartbreaking. Such a character type is similar to Adjani, but Lange's performance is somewhat more rational than Adjani's. Adjani's film belongs to the tragic beauty of the straight and jade-like type. Lange Her performances tend to be more masochistic. Although there are some images of bad women playing tricks and men in American horror, but behind this cynicism, there is no Adjani-style aggression, but a tendency to have multiple...

    Background creation

    Based on the tragic life of Frances Elena Farmer, this biopic tells a nightmarish tragedy that brings the protagonist's ordeal to life with plenty of space. Frances, played by Jessica Lange, makes up for the lack of layers and rhythm in the film's structure and style with a resolute and emotional performance. Jessica Lange dissolves herself and fully enters the role, portraying Frances's visceral dissatisfaction and indignation...
