The best performances throughout the history of cinema aren’t grounded in standard craft or technique; rather they offer the audience a feeling of invention, connection, emotional depth, and overall relatable growth – regardless of whether the character is likeable or not. This attention to complexity creates some of the most iconic roles, ones that are career-defining and ultimately capture the zeitgeist.
Acting will always be one of the primary pillars of storytelling, often working as a bridge that transports us into the world the director has envisioned.
