Why It Matters
The film "The Debut" had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival, directed by Jesse Eisenberg and starring Julianne Moore and Paul Giametti.
Actress Julianne Moore acts crazy again! A24's new film "The Debut" recently had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival. After the first wave of word-of-mouth came out, almost all the focus fell on the 66-year-old.
What’s exaggerated is that before the movie was over, the audience suddenly burst into applause after a rehearsal scene in the middle, and the atmosphere was described as almost boiling; even director Jesse Eisenberg, producer Emma Stone, and actor Paul Giametti, who were sitting in the audience, couldn’t help but look at each other, as if asking together: “What on earth did we just see?”
Julianne Moore plays an introverted and inconspicuous housewife this time. She originally just wanted to give it a try, so she went to the community theater to audition for an original musical, and then got an inconspicuous small role.
Who knew that being on stage for the first time in her life would completely awaken a certain performance switch in her body; under the constant pressure and challenges of the powerful director Jerry played by Paul Giamatti, Julianne Moore went from a shy novice to a method actor who is almost obsessed with performance. For a small role with only a few lines, she went deeper and deeper into the role.
Foreign media commented that although it was just a community theater rehearsal, Julianne Moore pushed the emotions upward layer by layer, and finally turned into a fierce monologue that became increasingly out of control and ridiculous to the point of laughter.
Film critics described her transformation from a clumsy amateur to a woman possessed by the character in this scene. Her back-and-forth attack and defense with Giamatti were as accurate as a musical beat, and finally brought the audience to a climax. The Los Angeles Times also described it as a performance duel with a five-page script, and the film festival audience couldn't help but cheer and applaud on the spot after watching it.
