Clouds of Sils Maria
Review
A trio of females question concepts of youth, love, and true
happiness in Oliver Assayas’ Clouds of
Silis Maria. Maria Enders (Juliette
Binoche) is suffering a mid life crisis within the film as she is requested to
play a role opposite to the one which started her fame as an actress 20 years
ago. Maria attempts to discover the
character of Helena with her assistant Val (Kristen Stewart) in the remote area
of Sils Maria. Jo-Ann Ellis (Chloe Grace Moretz) is the young actress that is
playing Maria’s original part of Sigrid. The relationships between the women
intertwine in an interesting way within the narration of the film and the
narration of the play within the film. Through the scooping views of the Alps
in Sils Maraia, this text within text rings with extreme poetry and verse.
Juliette Binoche’s does the role justice of Maria illustrating the complexities
of age, identity, and worth in the media. She is the backbone of this film and
the stories imbedded within it. Both Moretz and Stewart are outshined by Binoche.
