Past Loves

You know who I'd missed without even really knowing I missed her? Iben Hjejle, so wonderful as Laura in High Fidelity.  It was the trailer for The Eclipse that reminded me:





She was so lovely and alive, both physically and emotionally, as Laura, that I'm not sure how I feel about her turn as a ghost-story-writer-with-abusive-looking-married-boyfriend-who-hooks-up-with-haunted-widower in this movie.  But really, what this all made me think is that it's another reason I have to see Defiance, which may have Nazis and sibling rivalries, but at least is firmly anchored in this world.
