Jessica Chastain

Golden Globe winner Jessica Chastain returns to Broadway in The Jamie Lloyd Company’s revival of Henrik Ibsen’s 1879 landmark drama A Doll’s House which opened with previews on February 13 at The Hudson Theatre. She stars in one of the theater’s most iconic roles playing Nora Helmer, a housewife who decides to leave her husband and family behind.

Strong colors will surface but early arrivals stayed in the soft hues, while men showed the lapel broach has gone beyond a trend to a staple. .

The camera pans slowly following Jessica Chastain's every move, from the restroom to the bedroom, down the stairs into the living room where she finally sits on the sofa next to her husband (played by Oscar Isaac) in front of a couples’ counselor. It's the opening tracking shot of HBO's Scenes from a Marriage where Chastain's talent and versatility are subtly displayed.

Alongside the big-screen debuts of 22 feature-length films (and 14 short films) at the 78th Venice Film Festival, television also had its presence felt with the premiere of HBO’s five-part limited series, Scenes from a Marriage. The project is a modern adaptation of the 1973 Swedish series by six-time Golden Globe winner Ingmar Bergman, with Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac in the lead roles.

Golden Globe winner Jessica Chastain is back with another powerful performance in Molly’s Game written by another Golden Globe winner, Aaron Sorkin, who decided to debut also as a director. California-born Jessica loves to play the ukulele so we asked if music helps her also in getting into the character she plays.

Aaron Sorkin’s directorial debut Molly’s Game is adapted from Molly Bloom’s memoir of running high stakes poker games in Los Angeles and New York. It stars Jessica Chastain in the title role and the taut, crisp dialogue the two-time Golden Globe winner (Steve Jobs, The Social Network) is known for.

Idris Elba hasn’t been wasting much time this year, packed with performances in  The Dark Tower, Thor: Ragnarok, The Mountain Between Us and Molly’s Game, the latter films both premiering back to back in Toronto. In Molly’s Game, Aaron Sorkin’s directorial debut, he is defense lawyer to Jessica Chastain’s Molly Bloom (the film is the based on the life Olympic skier turned high stakes poker player).

Could 2017 go down as the year of the women despite men taking all of the top awards at the Cannes Film Festival, bar one? The Palme d’Or went to Ruben Östlund, for the Swedish satire The Square. The runner-up Grand Prix went to festival favorite 120 Beats per Minute, by French director Robin Campillo, and Russian director Andrey Zvyagintsev was awarded the Jury Prize for his drama Loveless.
