David O. Russell’s work to date has attracted significant critical acclaim (Three Kings, I ? Huckabees), even if he hasn’t necessarily met with the same degree of commercial success. His latest offering, The Fighter, is receiving a certain amount of critical buzz and you can catch up on all of our posts so far here.
To all of those posts we can now add this one, a new clip courtesy of Apple Movies. It shows Christian Bale squaring off against Amy Adams and shows just what a talented paid of actors they are – Bale all jittery, animated, coiled energy, Adams displaying weariness, disappointment and resentment with aplomb.
If the rest of the film can match the tone, quality and emotional heft of this scene, we are in for a treat.
