WHY MERYL?
Never before has an American actress succeeded in growing from ingenue to matriarch to this extent. Seen retrospectively and in context with our time, the strength of the quiet power of her portrayals have acquired an unexpected, and perhaps even unintentional, feminst force.
Meryl Streep’s body of work involves the entire range of female experiences - an impressive feat under any circumstances, but nothing less than a triumph in a field as sexist as the American film industry.
Streep’s exquisite craftsmanship, her technique and attention to the most minute of details, has complimented her natural talent and instincts to a remarkable degree.
Her profession - and astonishing talent - has also allowed her to travel in time, and explore what it was to be female in other times, subjected to other cultural mores.
