  1. Love Luminita showing up! She's brilliant in Child's Pose. UGH, you know how I feel about Dorval and especially Clement! Servillo is also so good and sadly so underknown, and he's been in Oscar nominated/winning films for over a decade.

    Sadly, there are names on that list that I'm unfamiliar with. I'll have to rectify that!
