Topic: Charles Berling


  
  Charles Berling
Noted for his charismatic presence and his ability to immerse himself in a diverse range of roles, Charles Berling is an actor whose name garners respect and recognition in his native France.
Berling first earned acclaim in the theatre, where he was a fixture for many years, before making his film debut in 1993's Salt on Our Skin.
Berling received César nominations for his work in the first two films, which made him -- thanks to his first César nomination for Ridicule -- one of the few actors to be nominated for the honor three years in a row.

 SPLICEDwire | "Demonlover" review (2003) Olivier Assayas, Connie Nielsen, Charles Berling
Ambitious and aloof but insecure, Diane begins the film by having a superior poisoned, abducted and mugged for confidential papers, thereby clearing the path for her to take over the negotiations -- and this is the character with whom we're supposed to identify.
It's soon clear that somebody is on to Diane, and paranoia barely has a chance to set in before she's being subverted by an unscrupulous colleague (Charles Berling) and the devious personal assistant (Chloe Sevigny) of the woman she poisoned.
Berling ("Ridicule," "L'ennui") is barely recognizable with a shaved head, a three-day scruff, and wicked glare that exudes animal sexuality in a way that is at once alluring and repellant.

 SPLICEDwire | "L'Ennui" review (2000)
Charles Berling ("Ridicule," "Dry Cleaning") stars as Martin, a 40-ish philosophy teacher who drives himself to the brink of insanity trying to possess his indifferent young lover, Cecilia (Sophie Guillemin), who is so emotionally detached that she can't even explain why she sleeps with him.
She just does -- about 20 times in the course of the movie, occasionally showing a glimmer of gratification, but more frequently moaning a little, kissing him on the cheek and saying goodbye.
The exponential intensity that Berling brings to Martin is somehow enough to hold one's interest for the length of the film.

 OFFOFFOFF film review DEMONLOVER movie by Olivier Assayas with Connie Nielsen, Charles Berling, Chloë Sevigny, Gina ...
Taking obvious inspiration from David Cronenberg's weird techno nightmare "Videodrome" with maybe a sprinkling of David Lynch, "demonlover" is an exhilarating, confused, ridiculous, clever, and frustrating ride that repeatedly leaves you asking "Why, why, why?" but finally offers an answer to that question that might or might not work for you.
Cast: Connie Nielsen, Charles Berling, Chloë Sevigny, Gina Gershon, Jean-Baptiste Malartre, Dominique Reymond, Edwin Gerard, Thomas M. Pollard, Abi Sakamoto.
With an international cast that includes Americans Chloe Sevigny and Gina Gershon, this French-made film focuses on a case of corporate espionage at a Paris investment-banking boutique whose latest investment opportunity is a Tokyo animation company that produces pornographic animé.

In the posh Parisian suburb of Versailles, we meet an elitist top-notch doctor in the form of gerontologist Jean-Luc (Charles Berling) and his prize possession in the form of neglected desirable wife Isa (Natacha Regnier).
Berling's tortured older son is absolutely a joy to witness because he's a brooding soul who has never been able to empower himself mentally despite attaining other personal and professional accomplishments.

 Greenwich Village Gazette: Movie Review: Stardom, Written And Directed By Denys Arcand, Frank Langella, Jessica Paré, ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Tina isn't stupid by any means, she just becomes a bit of a sociopath as she climbs her way up the ladder of fame and fortune.
She begins by shacking up with photographer Philippe Gascon(Charles Berling), who sends her to Paris for what seems to be five minutes, which is long enough to meet her pal Toni(Camilla Rutherford), a bitter, burnt out creep even when we first meet her.
That may be so, but even with some really good performances by pretty much everybody [Akroyd and Langella are particularly so], one can't get past the fact that this is a really dumb film which is of no interest of anybody.

 Les Destinées (2000): Emmanuelle Béart, Charles Berling, Isabelle Huppert - PopMatters Film Review
Cast: Emmanuelle Béart, Charles Berling, Isabelle Huppert, Mia Hansen-Love
Adapted from Jacques Chardonne's 1936 novel, Les Destinées Sentimentales -- a much-loved text in its native land -- Assayas's movie charts three decades in the life of Jean Barnery (Charles Berling), a priest in the provincial town of Barbazac and scion to a wealthy porcelain magnate.
Told in three chapters, the movie opens as Jean's wife, Nathalie (Isabelle Huppert), and daughter, Aline (played as a child by Joséphine Firino-Martell, and later by Mia Hansen-Love), prepare to run off at Jean's behest because of some unexplained misunderstanding.
