Mercedes Morán

In La Cienaga (Argentina, 2001), Moran's Tali belongs to an extended family whose summer is thick with tension, neglect and barely articulated resentments. The ensemble gives her room to register tiny shifts rather than dominate through big speeches. Choose this for the pleasure of attentive watching: her performance is part of a dense social atmosphere, where the way people occupy a room can matter as much as what they say.
