Eva Green

Adapted from the article Eva Green (http://www.wikinfo.org/wiki.phtml?title=Eva_Green), from Wikinfo, licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.. Accompanying the film is music from a recording called "Holiday in Brazil." In 2001 the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry. In March 2004, she is scheduled to begin her third film as the female star alongside Orlando Bloom and Liam Neeson in director Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven, scheduled for release in May of 2005. When Cornell screened the film, he projected it through a piece of blue glass and slowed the speed of projection to that of a silent film. Described by Bertolucci as "so beautiful, it's indecent," her performance brought her critical acclaim and she has finished her second movie role in the French film, Arsene Lupin,directed by Jean-Paul Salomé and co-starring Romain Duris and Kristin Scott Thomas. The piece consists of snippets from East of Borneo combined with shots from a documentary of an eclipse. In addition to acting, she would like to compose music for film. Cornell was fascinated by the star of East of Borneo, an actress named Rose Hobart, and named his short film after her.

The multi-lingual Eva's name in Swedish is pronounced "grain." She studied in Paris and in London, England and performed on stage before making her film debut as the female lead in the Bernardo Bertolucci's 2003 film The Dreamers. Rose Hobart (1936) is a short, 19 minute experimental film created by the artist Joseph Cornell, who cut and re-edited the Hollywood film East of Borneo into one of American's most famous surrealist short films. A twin of Joy Green, a non-identical sister, Eva Green is the daughter of French actress Marlène Jobert and Walter Green, a Swedish dentist. Boston: MFA Publications, 2003.
