Review: Life and Death of Peter Sellers, starring Charlize Theron

2004-11-24T10:12:00.000-08:00

Life and Death of Peter Sellers: "It's been nearly 25 years since Peter Sellers died, officially the victim of a heart attack at age 54. 'The Life and Death of Peter Sellers' suggests that the heart attack was really the culmination of endless self-destructive behavior, almost as if Sellers' incredible comic genius was what he got in return for some nefarious pact with the devil.

The opening credits, presented in cheerful, psychedelic animation, belie what is to follow -- a sober look at a tormented soul filled with self-doubts and given to fits of uncontrollable rage. The screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, based on the book by Roger Lewis, suggests at times that Sellers thought of himself as an empty vessel who could completely fill himself with the role of the moment, creating characters that bore no resemblance to each other or to himself."

'Clouds' is dismal follow-up film for Theron

2004-11-05T12:48:00.000-08:00

Nashville City Paper: "Charlize Theron's first post-Oscar role occurs in a film that takes lots of seemingly spicy and provocative things and sandwiches them into a drab, ponderous and long period piece that tries to shock and provoke but mostly just meanders and bores.

Head in the Clouds director John Duigan did a reasonably effective job of presenting rather outlandish and confrontational material with Lawn Dogs, but this portrait of the horrors of war framed by a decade-long romance between Theron and her actual romantic partner Stuart Townsend mainly makes you wonder what attracted her to the property.

Maybe it was the concept. Theron plays the decades-ahead-of-her time figure Gilda, a '60s-style liberated woman living in the '30s. Gilda uses and abuses men, bedding and shedding them. "

Theron hit with Oscar curse

2004-11-03T11:55:00.000-08:00

Aspen Times News for Aspen Colorado - Arts and Entertainment: "In recent years, Halle Berry devolved from the Oscar-winning performance in 'Monster's Ball' to the bikinied Jinx in the James Bond flick 'Die Another Day,' and the catsuit-clad Patience Phillips in the universally panned 'Catwoman.' Nicole Kidman followed her 2003 best actress win for 'The Hours' by demonstrating an incredible inability to locate a character, flailing in her portrayal of the bitter janitor Faunia in 'The Human Stain.' After taking an Oscar home for 'As Good As It Gets,' Helen Hunt appeared in the stomach-turning 'Pay It Forward.' The good news is that most of the actresses eventually rebound from their post-Oscar fall; few wind up largely invisible, like Fletcher.

Latest to be afflicted with the curse is Charlize Theron. Theron earned an Oscar for last year's 'Monster' with an unforgettable job of transformation. The lovely, lithe South African native practically became Aileen Wuornos, the beastly, unkempt real-life man-killing machine. "

Theron's performance flies higher than 'Clouds'

2004-09-24T10:27:00.000-07:00

Alameda Times-Star Online - Bay Area Living: "IN her first film released since winning an Oscar as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in 'Monster' Charlize Theron has chosen a part that on the surface could not be more different from the seedy, desperate Florida prostitute.
In Australian filmmaker John Duigan's romantic historical epic 'Head in the Clouds,' Theron's Gilda Besse is the daughter of super-rich French champagne magnate (Steven Berkoff) and an American socialite. Gilda is a free-spirited, uninhibited beauty who in 1932 is a Cambridge undergraduate. She'll soon land in Paris, where she finds her true calling as a photographer.
Although she takes photography seriously, she lives for pleasure. When at long last she looks beyond herself, she emerges as fearless and unbending as Wuornos was in defending herself from behind bars. Once again, Theron shines as a strong, courageous and controversial woman. Even though fatalistic Gilda remains maddeningly indifferent about the rise of fascism, her beauty, spontaneity, wit and open sexuality make her hard to resist. "

'We're both realists. I thought, 'Okay, we're doing this movie, and he's going back home.' When he went back I was miserable.'
