Sigi - a query


Was she actually behaving seductively, or were the men fantasizing, a la American Beauty? I think it was the latter, because she tells Michael, "You're the only man here who doesn't want to f_ck Sigi". Anyone want to weigh in?

Yes, nrho: I think she knew they were all watching her, so she was making a game of it to keep herself cheerful & help the time pass. Of course that doesn't mean that the guys didn't embellish her actual seductive behavior by adding some extra fantasy elements. Right? Of course right!

I just loved the way Rotem Zussman-Cohen butchered Sigi's English lines (especially when speaking with Lord Michael). She's a terrific actress. My favorite: THE FIFTH HEAVEN. It's a serious film & she has a serious part in it, but she livens the whole thing up with her presence.

All best,
Jan

You bet, nrho.

Rotem Zisman is a terrific actress. I named her Best Supporting Actress in my article on the 2012 Chicago Festival of Israeli Cinema:

"My Best Supporting Actress nod goes to Rotem Zisman as 'Bertha,' a young woman engaged in a way too public affair with a British officer..."

Will keep an eye out for her. I'm currently in awe of Dana Ivgi. Will read your profile.
