Yolande Moreau
There are actors who are able to lend their body and face to the character they are portraying. Yolande Moreau does just that for me in Séraphine a little gem of a movie about “Séraphine de Senlis” (Séraphine Louis).
Moreau is so compelling that I found myself understanding her many challenges as if they were my own, struggling to fit, what is called the normal world, into the abstraction of her mind.
For most people being fully understood and understanding others is difficult, for an artist it may be many times more difficult.
Once more, Séraphine is a beautiful small film.
