Kristin Scott Thomas faced a complicated challenge with “I’ve Loved You So Long.” She had to play a woman trying to vanish emotionally.

“It’s not that she doesn’t want anything to happen,” Scott Thomas told the Los Angeles Times. “It’s that she doesn’t care what happens. I don’t think she is depressed. She is just waiting for the bus to run her over — and she’s not going to do anything about it.”

The role has brought as much notice to her acting as anything she has done since 1996’s “The English Patient,” for which she was nominated for the lead actress Oscar. Last week, Scott Thomas got a Golden Globe nomination for best actress. It’s part of a big year for Scott Thomas, who was also in the art-house hit “Tell No One” and on Broadway in the revival of Anton Chekhov’s “The Seagull,” which closes Sunday.Scott Thomas, 48, doesn’t expect any of this to make her an A-list name, and she’s fine with that.

“I don’t get offered big parts in big movies,” she said without any apparent regret. “I can do interesting work at home and not be away for months and not have to make so many artistic compromises. … It is fantastic to be able to do French films, where I am allowed to do things that I am not allowed to do anywhere else.”

Although it is not that good about the plot, I loved this review!

This was nine-tenths of a terrific movie, comfortable 8-grade territory, until the last plot point completely took back and actively undercut what the first nine-tenths of the movie had been out. If you walk out … when Kristin Scott Thomas is making a bed, you’ll think you walked out of a year’s best contender // KST’s performance deserves to be anthologized for its mastery of the body language of a prisoner!

Although Claudel drew on his own experience as a prison teacher - and a literary academic in Nancy, just like Lea - Scott Thomas relied on her imagination. “I had read quite a bit about people spending time inside prison and getting out: how difficult is it to come to terms with being allowed down the street and not having to stop at any point and being able to go through as many doors as you like. Freedom is such an extraordinary thing.”

Kristin about Oscar buzz: “It’s quite daunting because I know that if that were to happen I would have to work a lot harder … it’s a big old slog,” she says. “You have to do a lot more interviews, you have to do a lot more photographs.”
