MAXI DIAZ Animation blog
The video I want to show you today is in a film released in the 2008: Two Lovers. He was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and Best Foreign Film at the César Awards. The protagonist actor Joaquin Phoenix, who plays Leonard, a psychologically unstable young woman trying to recover from his latest crisis. The scene that I show below is an awakening.
I am impressed by the amount of nuances that are in the facial acting. For example, early, just when the alarm sounds, but look at the way in which squeezes his eyes several times before opening for the first time. The details of closing your eyes nothing but find the phone… light bothers you, I just woke up. The average yawn as he begins to talk… O expressions eyes as he rubs his hand. Many interesting details that note if you ever have to do an acting of an awakening.
