Christopher Walken in 'The Comfort of Strangers'
One of the few things you can't count on in life is the unpredictability of a Christopher Walken performance. The acclaimed actor's eccentric screen persona is ripe for comedic impressions. His off-kilter line readings provide a vast pool of unintentional comedy, but there's no questioning Walken's abilities as a transfixing screen presence. Whether playing a fierce anti-hero, a mysterious outcast, or an ephemeral scene-stealer, Walken never disappoints.
It's no accident that The Comfort of Strangers has a radiant sense of style. Behind the camera is cinematographer Dante Spinotti, best known for his partnership with Michael Mann, and dressing the actors is Giorgio Armani, the world-renowned Italian fashion designer. In a setting like Venice, everything looks like a million dollars.
Christopher Walken Delivers a Legendary Monologue in 'The Comfort of Strangers' Close From the outset, Walken's Robert evokes an unknowable quality, but what is clarified is his troubled youth. After meeting Colin and Mary, he invites them to his local bar off the beaten path. While sipping on wine, Robert recounts stories of his childhood, particularly the abuse he received from his diplomat father and younger sisters.
Christopher Walken Taps Into Paul Schrader's Repressed Self-Destruction Throughout their trip, Colin and Mary are implicitly drawn to Robert and Caroline, visiting their prodigious home and exploring Venice. They are weary of their presence, yet they find themselves entranced by their hypnotic labyrinth of sexual desires and burning regrets. The Comfort of Strangers explores this abstract world without any eroticism.
