Genevieve Bujold

Can anyone recommend a *good* film starring (preferably a young) Genevieve Bujold?
(Here's her filmography, to save you some typing.)

I can't speak to the 'young' part, unfortunately, but until someone comes along to discuss her earlier work, I'll say that Last Night is really good.

Dead Ringers is a modern classic

I like Dead Ringers, but that's hardly a "young" Genevieve.

L' Incorrigible (1975) is decent, and Le Voleur (1967, sometimes called "The Thief of Paris") is something of a classic.

"Coma"? (bonus: dead Tom Selleck!)

I enjoyed Choose Me and to a lesser extent Trouble in Mind. Same director, Alan Rudolph.

Ooh I loved her in Coma. No idea if you think it's a good film or not, but it certainly spooked the crap out of me when I saw it on late-night babysitting tv in the 80's.

Tightrope was quite good.

The Moderns is another good Alan Rudolph film.

King of Hearts! She was, I think, 16 years old. It's a wonderful, funny "inmates take over the asylum" film.

My favourite Bujold film overall is Dead Ringers, and my favourite young Bujold film is Coma.

She was charming as the doomed Anne Boleyn in "Anne of the Thousand Days." If you've seen "The Other Boleyn Girl" I think you'll be impressed in Bujold's favor over Natalie Portman.
