Shopgirl- an undiscovered little gem..

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Based on a novel and then a screenplay by Steve Martin- who also stars- this is quite an accomplishment. Claire Danes is the shopgirl who has a boring existence until she meets a young aimless loser played by Jason Schwartzman and a much older rich business man (Steve Martin). Fluid and perfectly timed direction by Anand Tucker.
The real stars are Clair Danes and the Cinematographer Peter Suschitzky. I never paid much attention to Danes but this time I fell in love with her too. She conveys all her feelings and emotions with almost no words- just glances and posture.
If you never thought of her as a raving beauty- be sure to check out this film. Cinematographer Peter Suschitzky must have been in love with her too as he photographs her in such magnificent light, she takes your breath away.
This film really got to me and I shall remember it for a long time.
