My Take
Adrienne Corri commands my respect simply for the company her filmography keeps. A Scottish actress born in 1930s Glasgow, she appears in A Clockwork Orange, a film whose intensity tends to overshadow everyone in it, yet she registers. From Renoir's The River to Hammer-style horror like Vampire Circus, she moved between auteur cinema and genre fare with rare ease. As someone fond of older film, I admire performers who refused to be typecast across such different registers. She passed in 2016, but that flame-haired presence still burns on celluloid. Preserving the memory of actors like her feels like part of the job.
