Just discovered him


I just watched "A Little Chaos" last night. I had never seen Matthias Schoenaerts's work before. Right from scene one, he stole my heart :-). He had amazing chemistry with Kate Winslet.

I will definitely check out more of his work. I would love to see "Rust and Bone", which is a movie I knew about before but never got a chance to watch yet. "Bullhead" seems very interesting, too. And, "Danish Girl" is a film I am looking forward to ever since I heard about it. Having read one of Thomas Hardy's novels ('The Woodlanders'), I want to see "Far From the Madding Crowd".

Hope Matthias scales new heights.

Don't miss Far From the Madding Crowd. It may be a remake but think it is far superior to the original, especially Matthias's Oak. Really amazing the intensity of his portrayal. Another film to watch out for is The Big Splash with Tilda Swinton. Also a film called Disorder. Am so looking forward too to seeing these new films.

Thanks, Victorgoat. I will definitely watch at least a few of these.

Bullhead (Rundskop in Dutch) is a very bleak movie about the hormonemaffia in Flanders (Belgium), an item that has been very actual years ago, not everybody's cup of tea but it brought Matthias' amazing performance under the attention of Hollywood.
Rust and Bone is a must see. There was a lot of talk about Marion Cotillard who was of course very good but IMHO Matthias stole the show.
The Drop with Tom Hardy is a good film too. The director is the same one who made Bullhead. Matthias played a good supporting role and it was also Gandolfini's last movie before he died.
I was very pleased with Far From The Madding Crowd. Very good performances from all actors. Matthias played a beautiful part, not the rough one he has become famous for.
Haven't seen but want to see Maryland. It's about a soldier with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Matthias has told in an interview that he has gone very deep for this part. In fact, too deep. He didn't sleep anymore, had issues shedding the role afterwards. It was a warning for him not to cross his own personal borders. Interesting!

I just discovered him as well! Saw Far From The Madding Crowd! Spectacular, just his presence alone, dear Lord! I will be watching many of his movies to see what he's about!

Looking forward to watching Suite Français. Any other movie ppl recommend? Any other actors or actresses like him you know of that aren't discovered by many that you know of? Thanks!


Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are.

You should watch Bullhead, Rust and Bone, The Drop, Left Bank and My Queen Karo, Matthias was great in those movies.
