Am I the one of the few people in GoldDerby who had watched this performance? I think Cathy Burns gives one of the best movie performances. The monologue about her mother’s death is heartbreaking. Watch this for yourself : https://youtu.be/e0qR05HzcKc

Her work in this was brought up in another thread recently. I haven’t seen this film in about 30 years! I commented I hadn’t remembered much other than Burns in some scenes on the beach and how young Barbara Hershey was…film was about 20 years old at the time I saw it if I am right in how long ago it was. I looked it up on youtube hoping the whole film was available for free and saw this scene you added the link for. She’s fabulous here.

It was a great performance. Here’s an interesting article the Hollywood Reporter did about her a few months ago.

She blew me away. Too bad she hated the film and her performance but we don’t. Glad the Oscars included her during In Memoriam segment.

P.S.
I was the one who uploaded the clip in YouTube. I am Dan Jo Galicia. I’ve posted several film clips.

I want to see this movie. I heard great things about Catherine’s performance in this movie. Does anyone think that Catherine should have won the Oscar?
