There's often a collective sigh when a French actress of a certain age crosses over into roles that are no longer mere displays of sumptuousness. It's sad to think of lost youth, of course, but there's another spectacle at play

Brooklyn-bred Darren Aronofsky has gone to New Jersey and made his NEBRASKA. As spare and haunting as Bruce Springsteen’s acoustic masterwork, Aronofsky’s THE WRESTLER is less [reinvention] than [refinement]:

the relentless self-destruction of mind and body depicted in PI and REQUIEM FOR A DREAM has merged with THE FOUNTAIN’s search for spiritual grace

while his audacious technique has been abandoned for a naturalistic approach that recalls the independent American cinema of the 1970s and 80s. This mostly suits Robert Siegel’s straightforward narrative of 

a past-his-prime professional wrestler’s fumble [for] redemption


but it emphatically agrees with Mickey Rourke, who owns the film as the breaking-down Randy "The Ram” Robinson."

This is how people find love in "The Best of Youth." They meet in a small kitchen, where one of them calls the other a

klutz
(克茲, 笨手笨腳的人) for not being able to work the coffee machine. 

They talk about college, and exchange a look. That’s it. And this is how people make out: 

they fumble warmly [in a car]


beside a phone booth, with no music surging to their aid—unless you count the Roman rain outside, with its soft percussive beat.
