My Take
Elina Löwensohn draws me in with her shadowy intelligence on screen. A Romanian-American actress with roles in Schindler's List, Nadja, Amateur and Simple Men, she became a favorite of independent auteurs like Hal Hartley rather than a Hollywood headliner, and that's precisely the connoisseur's appeal. She can quietly steal a scene without crowding it, a restraint I deeply respect in a performer. Learning that she later moved into directing only confirmed my sense of her as a complete artist with a clear spine. Löwensohn is the rare presence that rewards close, patient attention.
