My Take
Born into a kabuki family whose main stage was closed to daughters, Shinobu Terajima went out and took the Silver Bear in Berlin instead. What I admire most is her taste in roles. Vibrator, Caterpillar, Oh Lucy!: parts that offer no vanity and no comfort. She keeps choosing work that costs her something, which is rarer than talent.
