Willem Dafoe has etched himself into the annals of Hollywood history with iconic roles such as the Green Goblin/Norman Osborn in Sam Raimi'sSpider-Man to his heart-wrenching portrayal of Bobby Hicks in The Florida Project. Without a doubt, Dafoe has demonstrated time and again why he’s a tour de force on the silver screen, with him easily disappearing into every character he plays.
In the movie, Dafoe takes on the character of David Caravaggio, a mysterious character who has a more mysterious agenda. Even in a film full of high-caliber actors, Dafoe manages to rise above portraying Caravaggio with a simmering intensity while slightly hinting at the well of emotions and pain that the character carries.
8 'Poor Things' Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos Yorgos Lanthimos' most recent offering, Poor Things, is a whimsical and strange journey of a woman whose brain was swapped with her unborn child. In the movie, Dr. Godwin Baxter , revives a pregnant dead woman who was floating in the river and implants the brain of her unborn child in her head. The woman takes the name Bella Baxter and goes on a life-changing journey that sees her traveling around the world and widening her horizons.
Dafoe portrays J.G. Jopling, a sinister and ruthless hitman with a natural liking for violence. Dafoe's performance adds a layer of darkness to the film, which perfectly contrasts the colorful and whimsical world of The Grand Budapest Hotel. Dafoe’s menacing character is unpredictable, making him a standout and memorable villain in the movie. Aside from Dafoe, the movie also boasts a stellar cast of talented actors — all of whom bring to life the eccentric world that Anderson has created.
Dafoe’s analytical and rational portrayal of the husband, who is also a therapist, perfectly captures the controlled grief and concern of the character. It’s also hard to forget Dafoe’s performance as he’s not afraid to be consumed by the physical demands and vulnerability of the character.
Mississippi Burning is one of Dafoe’s earliest roles in film and allowed him to share the screen with renowned actors like Frances McDormand and Hackman. His performances as an idealistic and youthful FBI agent were believable and filled with nuance. While he wasn’t nominated for any awards for his work in the movie, it’s a film that helped propel his rising star in Tinseltown.
