You may more or less like the cinema of David O. Russell, one of those directors capable of arousing as many passions as hatred, but there is an element in each of his films that does not allow for discussion: his impressive cast. And it is that, although in most cases it seems that his relationship with actors and actresses is not the most fluid in the world, far from it, We are talking about a guy with a special talent for bringing together big stars to help him tell their particular stories.
The best interpretation of any member of the spectacular cast of ‘Amsterdam’
1 Christian Bale – ‘The Machinist’
Almost 30 kilos. This is the weight that the ever-devoted Christian Bale lost to star in this more than claimable ‘The Machinist’, a 2004 gem thriller directed by Brad Anderson. A story full of twists, surprises and scenes related to the impact that he found in the chilling interpretation of the actor the most indisputable of his virtues. In a career full of immense works like Bale’s, it is always difficult to choose just one, but this choice serves to celebrate one of his best (and most forgotten) films.

Two Margot Robbie – ‘I, Tonya’
The easy thing would have been to take advantage of the lure of ‘Suicide Squad’, that horror movie where her Harley Quinn was the only thing that was okay, to continue acting in action movies destined to end all the popcorn in the world. world. But Margot Robbie, showing courage and intelligence, he preferred to focus each of his efforts on the relaunch ‘I, Tonya’, Tonya Harding’s biopic, one of those stories that, out of pure delirium, can only be real.
The result of this leap into the void of the Australian actress is, firstly, a magnificent film, exceptional in almost all its sections, and secondly, one of those interpretations that mark a career. Robbie, excellent from start to finish, follows him in every scene and, starting from frailty or anger, hypnotizes us without the possibility of resisting. It is a talent show worthy of the most surrendered applause.

3 John David Washington – ‘Infiltrated the KKKlan’
The best thing about John David Washington’s performance in this extraordinary “Breaker of the KKKlans” is the way it fits perfectly with the tone employed by essential Spike Lee throughout the entire film. In this way the actor completes a job that, far from any hint of excess or artifice, it works perfectly in its simplicity and admirable flow. An interpretation as exemplary as it is effective that has served to place it within a sector that is pleased with its presence.

4 Anya Taylor-Joy – ‘Last Night in Soho’
With ‘Last Night in Soho’, in case there were any doubts, Edgar Wright ends up positioning himself as one of the most interesting directors of his generation. And he does it, too, with his signature style recital, references converted to his own label, startling stories, dizzying editing and fabulous staging.
A magical combination that works to its full potential in this thriller with touches of terror and tons of style in which each scene moves with the hypnotic shapes of a British song from the 60s.

5 Chris Rock – ‘9 Days’
Crushed at the time of its critical premiere which, as usual, did not appreciate Joel Schumacher’s signature nerve and pace, ‘9 Days’ continues to stand out to this day as a more than successful thriller in its combination of showmanship, action and humor. Lands in whichjust like Anthony Hopkins is a little lost, Chris Rock is happythus signing the most complete interpretation of his career to date.
6 Matthias Schoenaerts – ‘Of Rust and Bone’
Much more forgotten than it deserves when it comes to celebrating the best films of the great Jacques Audiard and the roundest interpretations of Matthias Schoenaerts’ professional career, ‘Of Rust and Bone’ is already receiving the thunderous ovation of the unanswered statement. And it is that, from the very start, this dark love story is a first-class cinematic experience, offering the exact doses of intensity, pain, love and hope. A jewel in which the aforementioned actor is truly immense from the first scene to the last of the shots.

A cinematic gem from start to finish that offered a good handful of scenes to remember, an unforgettable ending, and an outstanding performance delivered by a full blown Shannon from start to finish. An essential work and film.

8 Robert De Niro – ‘Raging Bull’
No one in the history of cinema has mirrored defeat in such a poetic, raw and wild way as Martin Scorsese did with the monumental ‘Raging Bull’, one of the undisputed peaks of his career. Shot in a black and white that lends a greater classicism to a story of ambitious losers and vice versa, the director mesmerizes with unforgettable opening credits that remain forever in his memory.
From there, direct combat with unique craftsmanship, authentic steel script, dramatic bombproof solvency and a central interpretation of Robert De Niro absolutely fascinating. A real cinematic KO. The verses are flush with the canvas.

9 Rami Malek – ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’
Why does “Bohemian Raphsody” work so amazingly? What are the tears that awaken in the viewer? How does the unstoppable desire to return again and again arise? Simple, two words: Freddie Mercury. We are faced with a figure so magnetic, electric, charismatic and delusional that you cannot take your eyes off him at any time, vibrating at every appearance of him and surrendering to the evidence of his greatness as a singer, composer and showman. The order of the factors in no way alters the brutal end result. Mercury’s power alone is more than capable of carrying the full weight of a film, fully justifying the admission price.
A spell that would have been completely impossible without an actor up to the immense challenge. Fortunately, Rami Malek is not alone performs a thousand wonders in his reinterpretation of the legend, embracing every characteristic gesture, look, movement and pose, but also brings an extra dose of respect, admiration and sensitivity towards the person behind the star. This is not an actor who imitates Mercury. He is an actor that Mercury has taken over.

10 Zoe Saldana – “Guardians of the Galaxy”
Although the brutal spectacle, the foolproof gags and the sheer amount of action and adventure may blind you on first viewing, the way Zoe Saldaña takes on the (wonderful) character of Gamora from the very first moment is one of the strengths of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy ‘and its entourage. A series of films in which the actress gives herself body and soul, putting all her heart into every scene, and who found their ultimate emotional climax in the Avengers tapes. There is not even a hint of autopilot, we are talking about a performer capable of elevating every moment with the ‘only’ help of her talent.

It happened in his best works (‘The Great American Swindle’ and ‘Joy’), in the irregular ones (‘Three Kings’, ‘The Fighter’) and in the worst ones (‘The Bright Side of Things’, ‘Strange Coincidences’) and naturally, repeated in his new work: ‘Amsterdam’. Beyond the artistic achievements of the film, O. Russell once again focuses on a truly overwhelming cast in which the great classics of acting join the emerging stars to form a more than convincing element on its own to bring you closer to the nearest cinema.
Therefore, we take this opportunity to highlight the best performances of a set of actors and actresses who are always a joy to meet on screen. Stars full of talent and presence who join forces to enhance, or directly save, David O. Russell’s vision.
