Meryl Streep only called 4 of her films, which are definitely worth watching

When the actress has almost fifty years of career and three Oscars, it is not a task to choose only four films. But Meryl Streep seems to have treated this. Without much pathos, without introspection, she simply mentioned the works that she is worth attention. And yes, “The Devil Wears Prada” did not come to this list.

The Coolidge Corner Theater Cinema made a retrospective in honor of the comic and showed some of his iconic paintings. Then the actress was asked: if the choice of films from herself depended on, what would she send to the screen? After a joke about service – “all to one” – followed a very specific list:

• “Scream in the darkness” (A Cry in the Dark) – A drama about the real business of a baby who disappeared in the Australian wilderness, and the mother, who guilty the public and the court. Strip plays Lindy Chemberlen, a woman who is accused of killing her daughter.
• “Thistle” (IronWhed) – The story of two homeless people in the age of great depression. Cast – Strip and Jack Nicholson.
• “Bridges of Madison County” (The Bridges of Madison County) – A room melodrama about random love in the Outback of Aiova. The partner line was Clint Eastwood.
• “Amendment” (Adjustment) -Meta comedy Spike Jones, where Nicholas Cage plays two brothers at the same time. Streep – Like a literary heroine, which is not at all what it seems in the beginning.

When she was asked if she would like to add one of her “comic” years of the late 80s and early 90s, such as “Death to her face” or “postcards from the edge of the abyss”, the actress answered sharply:

“Everyone always says it. But then there were” House of Spirits “and” Wild River ” – not the most funny things.”

Given the scale of her filmography, every list of four points will be incomplete to say the least. But even in this limited choice, the comic remains true to itself – a serious drama, “smart” roles and no concessions because of the popularity.
