Underrated domestically, much more widely seen abroad, Scarlett Johansson's best performance and her last nomination. But again, a girl without nearly as much confetti as K Pearce and T Jenkins so muct be a tough road…

Memphis is a city, by the way, not a state.

It's a documentary about actors at an audition. When they get in the room with the casting agent, they are instructed to flee the building in a panic. The other actors waiting generally freak out when they see this, as they have no idea what's happening. It's a really intriguing, complex experiment in performance. See it if you can.

Figured I'd mention it.
