Cannes 2010’s Top 10 New Faces: Introducing William Shimell

#2. William Shimell

Anyone who makes Juillette Binoche cry in my books is not okay. William Shimell didn’t really make the actress cry, but he held his own in his screen debut in an Abbas Kiarostami’s Copie Conforme. Trained to use his pipes for another reason (the actor actually works in the opera), Shimell plays James Miller, an English author whose latest book “Certified Copy” leaves Binoche’s character tied up in knots, but it is the film’s journey between the two characters after the initial meeting that could be a lesson on how not to love. The film which was one of the fves in Cannes, will receive support pretty much everywhere excluding Iran.
