My Take
Maribel Verdu is one of those actresses whose presence I trust completely. Over a career spanning nearly four decades she has gathered an extraordinary haul of honors, including two Goya Awards for Best Actress, an Ariel, and Spain's Gold Medal for cinema. What I admire is that she never seems to coast on prestige; she keeps choosing roles that demand emotional risk. To stay this commanding across so many years, in an industry that rarely rewards women for aging, says everything about her craft. When I see her name attached to a film, I assume the performance will be the thing I remember long after the credits roll.
