Cate Blanchett Plays 13 Different Characters in the Strange Trailer for MANIFESTO
I've got a crazy trailer here for you to watch for Cate Blanchett's latest film project, Manifesto. In the film, Blanchett takes on the role of 13 different characters, and it's really strange seeing her in all these different roles. Each role is in a different vignette, all of which feature her characters reciting and performing scenes based on manifestos that have been written by artists, architects, and filmmakers.
Blanchett is an incredible actress and one of the few who would be able to effectively pull off this kind of filmmaking madness.
Tour-de-force: a term so overused that we need an undeniable acting performance to renew its meaning for cinema. Cate Blanchett has just given us one, going all-out in Manifesto. Already respected as one of the best actresses in film, Blanchett raises the bar even higher by playing 13 different roles in Manifesto, embodying some of the most influential and emotional artist manifestos in history.
The film was directed Julian Rosefeldt and is set to premiere at Sundance later this month. I plan on checking it out while I'm there.
