She is beautiful but not a of typical kind of beauty. In Hollywood she would probably be nothing as they are not able to appreciate individuality. She embodies a voluptious sensuality in Bitter Moon, mysterious angelic essence in The Ninth Gate and a couragious risky girl in Frantic. And everywhere she fits in her part. Her acting is impeccable.
What I especially appreciate in the actor's game is his ability to transform. This actress have this unique gift which is much rarer than it seems on the first sight. Among men actors I can point only Johnny Depp who has the same gift. But this actor is so far beyond the others deserves a separate article.
Emmanuelle Seigner plays not only in feature films but also in theater. I had a possibility to watch her in Fernando Krapp m'a écrit cette lettre staged in the little theater in Paris. She was perfect, her range of emotions penduled from exasperation and despair to sweet tenderness and love. She is a clever actress and can express the most subtle feelings. One could watch any film with her participation just to see her acting and to admire her. I want to attract your attention to some very talented people who are famous not like they really deserve it. But if they choose this lot it is even better.
