| Debicki in The Great Gatsby |
So
far in 2013 there have been a few performances that I liked. But there has only
been one that made me sit up straight in my seat almost shouting "Who's
that?” That is Elizabeth Debicki in The Great Gatsby. It is a combination of
having not seen her in anything before plus a certain screen magnetism that
heralded in my mind that a star was born.
She
gallops across the screen as Jordan Baker and authoritatively demands our
attention. She whole heartedly got mine. In fact I missed her a lot when Jordan
was off screen. She reminded me of Cate Blanchett in The Talented Mr. Ripley –
that same haughty confidence. And if you know the high regard I have for the
great Cate, you know that is no faint praise. Coincidently she is now on stage
in Sydney co-starring with Blanchett in The Maids.
I expect great things soon.
I expect great things soon.
