SALLY POTTER, WORKING WITH  ACTORS

IDENTITY AND SHIFTING IN ACTING. SINCE DIDEROT'S PARADOX ON ACTING, WE DISCUSSED IF THE ACTOR COULD MOVE THE CHARACTER   WITHOUT LIVING WITH HIS EMOTIONS OR VICEVERSA HE COULD LEND HIS OWN EMOTIONS AND BE ABLE TO KEEP THE PERFORMANCE UNDER CONTROL. TECHNIQUE AND NATURE WERE OPPOSED OR DECLARED COMPATIBLE.

IDENTITY AND PLAYING A ROLE ON A MOVIE ARE HERE OBSERVED THROUGH PHENOMENOLOGY OF SPECIFIC DIRECTION. THE BRITISH FILMMAKER   SALLY POTTER, DIRECTOR OF "ORLANDO", "THE TANGO LESSON", BUT ALSO OF "THRILLER" AND THE "GOLD DIGGERS", USED FILM LANGUAGE TO QUESTION CINEMATOGRAPHIC DEVICE. TO INVOLVE PERFORMER AND SPECTATOR IN A MAIEUTIC WAY, CREATING A MOVIE WITH TOOLS AND METHOD NECESSARILY REQUIRED BY THE NATURE OF EACH FILM.

WRITING A SCENE, CREATING THE CHARACTER, DIRECTING THE ACTOR ARE ALL PARTS OF A COMPLEX CONNECTION EXPERIENCE WITH THE MEANING AND THE NEED OF THE STORY AND THE FRAME.
