I liked him in Fellini's "Toby Dammit", John Schlesinger's "Far From the Madding Crowd", Peter Brook's "Meetings with Remarkable Men", "ma femme est une actrice" with Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Soderbergh's "The Limey".<br /><br />I bought the re-issue by Criterion of Stephen Frears' "The Hit" this year, with Stamp, John Hurt, and Tim Roth (Tim Roth is just a kid!) This 1984 film influenced later British crime movies.<br /><br />"The Hit" DVD extras have an interesting interview with Stamp. They ask him about his dropping out of acting for a while. He says he didn't drop out so much as cease to be popular. He and supermodel Jean Shrimpton were a couple and they perfectly embodied a certain swinging London fashionable look. He said every eye was always on them. <br /><br />Then fashion changed, and he was no longer considered good looking. Stamp tried to get jobs and he went to Italy, and did other things, but he was always wanting to work. He just tried to be philosophical about the periods when he couldn't get work, and be grateful that for a working class boy (like Michael Caine, his friend and contemporary) he had received so much.adrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-56781641858106246852010-11-29T09:21:28.434-05:002010-11-29T09:21:28.434-05:00Teorema sounds BAD.
