Jude Law's known for playing young wizards and popes, but here are his must-watch movie roles.
Jude Law is known for his hugely successful film career, but many may not know that his acting path began in the theater. After his first Academy Award nomination, Law’s film career really took off, and he stayed busy working with some of the most talented directors in the business. His work continued to garner him critical acclaim and, at some point, he established himself as one of the most talented actors out there.
The Talented Mr. Ripley Law’s film breakthrough came in his supporting role as Dickie Greenleaf in The Talented Mr. Ripley, for which he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. Based on the novel of the same name by Patricia Highsmith, the film follows a young man named Tom Ripley who gets lost in a path of stolen identities.
Cold Mountain Cold Mountain, based on the novel of the same name by author Charles Frazier, features Law alongside an all-star cast, including Nicole Kidman, Brendan Gleeson, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Natalie Portman, Donald Sutherland, and Renee Zellweger, among others. The film follows Law's character Inman, a Confederate soldier in the Civil War who takes great pains to return to the woman he loves amidst the war.
The film is mostly set on a stage, with revolving props that create transitions that make the viewer feel as though they’re watching an elaborate play. Law plays Count Alexei Karenin, the older husband of Anna Karenina . Though the two don’t exactly share a passionate or affectionate relationship, their marriage is much more complicated than a simple mismatch.
Vox Lux Law’s latest great work comes in Vox Lux, a film following the life of a young woman named Celeste Montgomery, played by Raffey Cassidy and Natalie Portman. When tragedy inspires Celeste and her sister to begin making music, Celeste is noticed by a man who offers to manage her music career. Law plays the manager in question, a sleazy guy who takes the young girls under his wing and ends up sleeping with Celeste’s sister.
