I think that the Merchant Ivory period of Helena Bonham Carter's career weirdly prefigured her transformation post-Fight Club. In A Room With A View, Howard's End she was playing the free independent spirits, characters that seemed almost out of synch with their own world (which was one of Forster's specialities).Ben has some thoughts on one of cinema's best weirdos, Helena Bonham-Carter who is in the latest red carpet lineup.
In particular, her performance in Wings Of The Dove is sublime. Complicated, vindictive, lost and totally believable...I'm fairly certain that Brad Pitt says on the director's commentary for Fight Club that he recommended her to David Fincher after seeing her in that movie. Either way I love her and would be interested to see her return to period drama. She's too old now, but once upon a time she'd have been perfect in Middlemarch but I suppose we'll get Keira Knightley now.
