In Bradley Cooper’s follow-up to “A Star is Born,” the British actor gives an Oscar-worthy performance.
So far, the talk of the Venice Film Festival has been the barnstorming performances given by a string of women who have not been able to attend the showcase for one; Emma Stone, who’s already generating Oscar buzz with her transformative portrayal of a Victorian woman with the brain of a baby in Yorgos Lanthimos’s
*—*and now, there’s another showstopper to add to that list: Carey Mulligan, who is simply a knockout in Bradley Cooper’s long-awaited second directorial effort afterOriginally billed as a biopic of Leonard Bernstein , the prolific conductor behindwho was long regarded as his nation’s best, this fleet-footed and heady slice of recent history is, in fact, an achingly moving portrait of his wife: Felicia Montealegre Bernstein , a Costa Rica-born, Chile-raised American actor who was a TV stalwart...
Before he meets her, we meet him as a fresh-faced 25-year-old, recently appointed assistant conductor at the New York Philharmonic, who, on one fateful morning in 1943, is called up and asked to step in for a guest conductor who has been taken ill. Bernstein leaps out of the bed he shares with his clarinetist lover, David Oppenheim , and, without a rehearsal, makes a triumphant Carnegie Hall debut that sends him stratospheric.
And it’s quite a meeting: The pair are captivated by each other at a party, and a ravishing black-and-white montage recounts their courtship until they decide to “give it a whirl”; that is to say, get married. For a moment, swept up in the misty-eyed romance, you worry that the issue of Bernstein’s sexuality has been glossed over entirely, but not so—it forms the crux of the film.
Mulligan and Cooper are both incredible in these scenes of bubbling marital discord, gently sniping at each other and retreating, the overwhelming love between them, painfully, still very much visible. It all comes to a head one Thanksgiving, when years of frustration give way to a raging blowout as parade floats loom just outside the windows of their apartment.
