Parker Posey

Posted April 21, 2003 * Comments(1)

One actress I really enjoy watching is Parker Posey. Unfortunately I’m not skilled in the art of dissecting movie performances, but when you see Parker Posey acting in a movie, you can tell she has done her homework.

One movie they didn’t mention was Party Girl, one of my favorites. It’s definately quirky and weird, but I love those kind of movies

Though few have honed the art of cinematic sarcasm quite as adeptly as Posey, she always conveys far more than just snark and sass. Indeed, her performances in films like Hal Hartley’s “Henry Fool” have revealed Posey’s dramatic depth, her ability to invest virtually any role with nuance and complexity.

    Party Girl is definitely an underground movie that should be shown in high schools as part of career day, for all of those students who have at one time or another thought “Gee, maybe I’d like to be a librarian.” I love Party Girl!
