“Fourteen Actors Acting” is a project created by New York Times to celebrate the skills of 14 from the most important, influent and able actors of the last generations.
Only the actors and their face&eye expressiveness, with movements accmpained and emphasised by the music made by Owen Pallett (perfromed by FILMharmonic Orchestra, Prague), under the direction of the norwegian Solve Sundsbo, famous as fashion photographer who’s worked for Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent and Dolce&Gabbana.
From Javier Bardem crashing things on a table, to James Franco flirting with his image in the mirror, and a sexy-undressing Natalie Portman, as far as Tilda Swinton in Giovanna D’Arco habits, Matt Damon speeching with angry, the Fred Astaire by Vincent Cassel, the chanteuse Noomi Rapace, Anthony Mackye, Robert Duvall, the end by Lesley Manville, the noir performance by Jesse Eisenberg, the scream-queens Chloë Moretz and Jennifer Lawrence and Michael Douglas staring at the camera.
The project also includes “The Scene Makers: Actors Who Defined Cinema in 2010”, a gallery in black&white of the most important actors of the year, and some notes by them telling about the cult scene they’ve ever acted.
