Forget about
Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash or
Kurt Russell as Elvis. Never you mind
Sissy Spaceck as Loretta Lynn or even
Diana Ross as Billie Holiday. Disregard
Val Kilmer's complete and utter embodiment of Jim Morrison. Stand there, pointing, laughing hysterically at
George Hamilton as Hank Williams. No no, put all which has come before well out of your head, for there is a
new master of the art of portraying on film a person who has actually at some point existed. And that person's name is
Master Mistress Marion Cotillard.
