I love the Michael Douglas piece. No props, no activity, no action or drama. Just pure presence. It's really a deceptively hard thing to do and he does it beautifully. I also love Duvall's total relaxation. These two peices are a master class in acting.

I like the ones that just are. Like Duvall, Swinton, Douglas, etc. They aren't trying to act, they're just existing with presence. I think that's the most important thing for acting in cinema. Is to be able to just be natural and vulnerable.
