Acteurist oeuvre-view Daniel Day-Lewis Part 8: NINE (2009) & LINCOLN (2012) + Daniel Acteur Top 10s

Published: June 3, 2022, 5:52 a.m.

In our final Daniel Day-Lewis Acteurist Oeuvreview episode, we look at a commercial and critical flop, Rob Marshall's\xa0Nine\xa0(2009), a musical based on Fellini's celebrated semi-autobiographical film\xa08 1/2, and a commercial and critical triumph, Steven Spielberg's\xa0Lincoln\xa0(2012), covering the final four months\xa0of Abraham Lincoln's life and especially the process of passing the Thirteenth Amendment. We consider how these roles relate to Day-Lewis's screen persona, then launch into a discussion of his entire career as we each\xa0give our Top 10 Daniel Day-Lewis performances. Has Day-Lewis been "typecast" by critics? And how do his best roles serve his unique qualities as an actor and personality? Find out what we think (and feel free to tell us what you think)!\xa0
