Mélanie Laurent & Jose Garcia are reputed french actors.
Jose Garcia started as as a "comedian" on TV, and established himself quite well in movies. He is a perfect mix of comedy and character. When I watch certain tamil short films there are artists whose performence resembles a lot with him, notably Kali, eventhough they both do not know the others existence. Pick any movie of his, and I am sure you will enjoy them.
Mélanie Laurent is MY favorite actress. How Nargis is for many, Mélanie is for me. She is everything that a film maker (and others) can dream of. Actress may claim that they do not use glycerine, but its always moving to see Mélaine cry or weep on screen (eventhough its quite cruel to say so). She can turn at any given moment from joy to agony with laughter, pain and tears included. She suits well with or without makeup, especially without the "red paint" on the lips. She has natural colors too. Well I stop here ...
Highlight : the restaurant scene in Inglorious Bastards (well for that I should start from the begining when she is seen running). I let you watch her other movies.
As said, will be watching this movie on 31/07. Wondering how much screen space she has got, keeping in mind its a hollywood film !
