Brnice Bejo's Colorful Performance Lights up 'The Artist'

Brnice Bejo's Colorful Performance Lights up 'The Artist' By Jessica Gardner December 14, 2011 "The Artist" became the surprise hit of Cannes 2011 when Jean Dujardin nabbed the best actor award. But opposite Dujardin's charming silent-film star George Valentin was another standout performancethat of Brnice Bejo, whose chemistry with her leading man sparked through the screen of this silent movie and whose eyes glittered with personality, even in black and white.Much like her character, Peppy Miller, Bejo is quickly becoming a star. Having already made her mark in French films, this Argentinean-born actor may soon be a household name. Here are five things to know about Bejo:1. She had to get over extreme shyness to be an actor. At age 5, Bejo knew she wanted to be an actor, but she didn't tell her parents until she was 9. "I wouldn't show off for my parents' friends," she says. "I wouldn't put costumes on or anything like that. I knew it was something I wanted to do, but I was too shy for any of that." In Bejo's first role, in a short French film, the director couldn't cut to any close-ups of Bejo because she was so nervous and shaky that her head would go out of frame. "I would have heavy breathing, so I had to really work on that," she says. "I really enjoyed acting, but I was very nervous, trying to be good. Now I don't try to be good or to do the scene right; I'm just trying to work. I'm not anymore looking for a result, which I was when I was young. When you're young, you think you have to do it right, right away, and you forget there's editing. You don't have to do the whole scene all good. You can do a little bit here and a little piece there, and that's the magic of cinema. But when I was young, it was hard [to get over that]."2. She felt serious pressure to perform well in "The Artist." One would think that if a director who was also your husband wrote you a leading role in his film, playing the part would be easy. But Bejowho was starring in a role that her husband, Michel Hazanavicius, had written for herwas stressed at the start of filming. She knew how much work her husband had put into the script, how much time he'd spent raising the money for it, and how important the film was to him. It was difficult for her to loosen up and focus on her role in the first week. "I just wanted to please him so much," she says. She also worried that the crew and the rest of the cast would think of her as just the director's wife and not as a serious actor, even though she had been successful in France for years before she even met her husband. When it was time to shoot her first big scene, Bejo says, it felt like an audition: "I wanted to show everybody that I'm an actress and I'm here for a good reason." She says Hazanavicius said to her: "Relax. You're good. Don't worry. Just focus on your work." Knowing she had his support, she let the pressure go, and, thankfully, she says, everything went well from then on.3. She thinks John Goodman is cute. She loves the scene in which Peppy and George fall in love while doing a take over and over, but Bejo admits that her favorite scene to shoot was her blackmail scene with a studio head played by John Goodman. "I love John," she says. "He was great. He was so cute! He's such a good actor. I didn't have to do anything except look at him and try to seduce him, and it came out great. I loved working with him."4. She got into character by telling Peppy's story over and over. For "The Artist," Bejo worked with an acting coach who asked her on the first day to tell him the story of her character. "It was such a mess," she says. After two weeks of working together, he asked her to tell him Peppy's story again, this time from Peppy's perspective, such as "I went to see a movie with George Valentin." "It totally changed my point of view," Bejo remembers. "I had emotions in every special moment and cried while I was telling the story." At the end of her work with her coach, she truly felt like she was Peppy: "I was like an old woman talking about myself when I was younger and telling the story."5. A painting at the Louvre will always remind her of "The Artist." On Bejo's last day of coaching before filming "The Artist," her coach took her to the Louvre. They were walking around and talking about her character when a big painting caught her eye. They walked over to it and saw that it was Caravaggio's "The Fortune Teller," which in French was translated as "The Good Fortune." Her coach looked at her and said, "Whenever you feel like you're scared, just think about this painting. It's good fortune."

Guy Ritchie on Madonna: 'I Sort of Encouraged Her to be Interested in Film'

In a twist that could only come out of Hollywood, Guy Ritchie and his former spouse -- a little someone named Madonna -- have new films arriving within weeks of each other. In limited release now is 'W.E.,' Madonna's time-spanning romance about King Edward VIII and his lover, Wallis Simpson (the film arrives in a more expanded capacity in 2012); out Friday is Ritchie's sequel to the mega-blockbuster, 'Sherlock Holmes.' So, apples to oranges. But! A chance to ask Ritchie about his feelings on Madonna, the filmmaker -- something he was happy to answer for Movieline. "I don't know, she's always been interested in film," Ritchie told Jen Yamato at Movieline. "Actually, I sort of encouraged her to be interested in film and she used quite a lot of my crew on her film. I haven't seen her film and I haven't read her script so it's hard for me to comment, but I wish her the best with it." As for his comments earlier this year that his marriage to Madonna was like a "soap opera," Ritchie said that most relationships are to an extent. "I think most people's marriages are like soap operas so I don't know if I'm unique in that sense, to a degree, but I suppose it was exceptionally operatic. [Smiles] But then as I say I suppose everyone's is at some point or another." Check out the full interview with Ritchie over at Movieline. 'Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows' arrives in theaters on Friday. [Photo: Getty]

Supernatural Episode Recap: "Death's Door"

Bobby. Bobby. Bobby. Our favorite gruff father figure/hunter is at "Death's Door." Again. Things are looking serious and permanent after being shot in the head in "How to Win Friends and Influence Monsters." While Bobby's in a coma, a reaper visits him, which is never a good sign. And as he experiences some of his life's greatest (and worst) hits and tries to find a way to get some essential Leviathan intel to Sam and Dean, we find out a lot about the character and proceed to get all teary-eyed in the process. The last Supernatural of 2011 is a very emotional episode. Jim Beaver does an excellent job of conveying a man desperate to outwit, outlast and outplay a reaper who's after Bobby. In order to figure out a way to get back to the boys and give them some much needed information he got while in Leviathan captivity, he has to work through some painful memories. But reliving his worst memory may be the key to getting back to the boys. Steven Williams is back for "Death's Door." I'm still (more than) a little bitter over Rufus having been killed off in Season 6 but at least this look through Bobby's brain includes seeing Bobby & Rufus in action as ghost-hunting partners. Rufus also ends up accompanying Singer on this look through his "fruitcake" and acts as sort of a guide. It's good to see Rufus return although what was up with that earring? It was dangling. A couple running themes develop. Something that keeps getting repeated is Bobby "breaks" everything he touches. Also, the ghost he and Rufus are trying to rid the world of calls him a heart breaker. And his wife tells him he broke her heart. Poor Bobby. So many reasons add up to why he's pretty much broken on the inside. Thanks to his abusive childhood, he's damaged. He has an alcoholic for a dad and a victimized enabler of a mom that keeps making excuses and blaming her son for his dad's abusive behavior. The kid can't do anything without the dad taking it out on his family. In this very "Eternal friggin' Sunshine" look through Bobby's mind, it's going from one memory to another to another so fast I'm not always sure what is real. Like when a young Bobby shoots his dad after the adult Bobby finally confronts him. Did that really happen? Did Bobby really shoot and kill his dad when he was so young? And then when he was an adult he had to kill his possessed wife? So unfair. Like the reaper said, he's "about the only case of genetic bullet-in-the-brain he's ever seen." He also hits the bottle a little too much like his father. No wonder Bobby didn't want to have any kids. And that's the big revelation we learned concerning his wife. She realized Bobby didn't want to have any kids and felt betrayed and her heart broke because she wanted them badly and he knew she did. We learn she got possessed only three days after their confrontation and now we know why. She was more susceptible to being taken over because of her fragile state of mind. Bobby blames himself for what happened to his wife. After all, he does break everything he touches. The other theme that develops is not a new one. It just gets fleshed out more. Bobby's relationship with Sam and Dean is probably the most significant relationship of his life other than the one with his wife. And I just got a little teary writing that sentence which is crazy. One of the memories we see is Bobby and Dean in a park. Per John's orders, Dean's supposed to be practicing to shoot double-barrel shotguns but Bobby takes him to play catch. Later, he even has to defend himself to John about playing catch with Dean instead of training him. We learn how important the boys are to him throughout the episode but more on that a little later. First, let's take a break from Bobby's noggin' and discuss what's going on in the real world. Sam and Dean are understandably worried and upset and concerned for their "uncle." Sam doesn't move far from Bobby's room. There's definitely a lot simmering underneath but he's in control. At one point, he's working that scar on his hand so he's probably seeing Lucifer and trying to make things go away. Sam also wants to talk to Dean about what they're going to have to do if/when Bobby dies. Sam's just trying to be realistic. Dean's the exact opposite of course. He's moving around a lot, his tension is right at the surface and he looks like he's ready to blow at any second. When that hospital administrator talks to Bobby's next of kin (Dean) about Mr. Singer donating his organs, Dean punches the wall and tells the guy to get away from him. Good move, guy. Then he goes outside where he sees the smuggy smuggerson known as Leviathan Dick Roman. Dean's trying to provoke some sort of reaction but Dick doesn't budge. He tells Dean to go check on Bobby. After all, he's a very good shot. There were a few moments that made me tear up. I know I probably wasn't the only one: "You've done enough. Believe me." "I don't care." "Why?" "Because they're my boys." Bobby wakes up and writes the numbers (the Leviathan intel) on Sam's hand. He musters up the strength to say "idjits" and then immediately starts to flatline. "You break everything you touch." "Uh huh. Well, as fate would have it, I adopted two boys and they grew up great. They grew up heroes! So you can go to hell!" "They'll be OK without you." "Last memory, huh? Glad I saved the best for last." Bobby walks into the room where Sam and Dean are quarreling like brothers over menial things. Dean wants Sam to show "his elders some respect" and Sam calls Dean an "a--hat." It's nice to see them that way. Bobby thinks so too. All he can do is sit back and drink it all in. And then the brothers disappear, the bullet melting his memories away. The reaper shows up once more and says: "Well, Bobby? Stay or go. What's it going to be?" Credits. My issue with "Death's Door": Other than the cliff-hanger ending, this didn't really seem like a midseason finale to me. Other than Bobby getting the numbers to Sam and Dean, it didn't really move any big picture action forward very much. That's cool for regular weekly episodes but for a midseason finale, I expect a little more Random Thoughts -They went all CSI a couple times to show the path the bullet went through Bobby's brain, didn't they? -How many times did Bobby say "balls?" -Big Daddy Winchester is again made to look like a bad dad. If Jeffrey Dean Morgan ever shows up to play John again (and I sincerely hope he does), I wonder how the show's going to handle this? The boys have a lot to be angry about. And I want to see it all play out. Just like Bobby got to do with his dad. -Obviously Ridge Canipe is too old to play the young Dean Winchester needed in this flashback (he's 17 now). But it was still odd to see a new kid actor playing him. Seeing Bobby and Dean play catch is a great moment but I was slightly taken out of it because this kid looks so different from Ridge. -Again, James Patrick Stuart excels at making this guy super smarmy. I don't know how he does it. -Dean and Sam were debating the skills of Chuck Norris versus Jet Li. And then during one of the commercial breaks was an ad for something that featured Chuck Norris. Weird. -How sad was it when things kept disappearing in Bobby's limbo-land? It's because his brain matter was disappearing. Boo. -Numbers on Supernatural? Seems more like Lost. -Dean loves licorice and Sam loves peanut butter and banana sandwiches? How did we not know this before? -Love how clever Bobby was in trapping the reaper. Of course, he admitted he had learned a bit from Sam and Dean's dealings with reapers. This episode did remind me of "In My Time of Dying" in more ways than one. Sam and Dean waiting helplessly as their father (or father figure) flatlines. Wanting to return because they're needed. The reaper trying to take care of business and then being thwarted. Or in this case, possibly thwarted. We won't know for sure until Friday January 6, 2012. Talk to you guys then. Let the winter hellatus begin. show less
