"INSIDE" (2023) Directed by Vasilis Katsoupis
I’ve long been admirer of the acting prowess of Willem Dafoe and not just because of his continuing alliance and collaboration with Wes Anderson in his offbeat comedies that often bemuse as well as delight in equally enormous measure. Four time Oscar nominee, the Wisconsin born actor has honed his enigmatic acting style for over four decades now with my first recollection being the Tony Scott directed, David Bowie starring vampiric film The Hunger in 1983, Oliver Stone’s first cinematic epic Platoon in 1986, Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ two further years later, Alan Parker’s Mississippi Burning before re-teaming with Oliver Stone for another Vietnam inspired, Tom Cruise starring Vietnam War epic, Born on the Fourth of July, and all within the first decade of his acting career.
The 1990’s were a mix and match of Cry-Baby, Wild at Heart, Clear and Present Danger and The English Patient before he commenced a new century with the newly reinvigorated medium of superhero films in Spiderman before ironically, as you’re about to read, he was a huge part of another reinvented medium in animated films and particularly, Finding Nemo. Then came his continuing collaboration with Wes Anderson before another radical departure into the Antichrist and Nymphomaniac world of Lars von Trier, starring opposite Philip Seymour Hoffman in his second to last all time cinema outing in A Most Wanted Man before joining the John Wick legend at the ground floor in chapter one in 2014.
The above is an extract from the spoiler free review penned, posted and published to my Medium blog site on 11th April 2023 of a particular favourite film from this year and which is linked immediately below:
