Angels in America: Overblown, over-hyped, over-long and gimmicky (was there any dramatic reason for those multiple characters?): still its heart was in the right place so that must explain all those Golden Globes. Diatribe over. Anyway, besides featuring Meryl Streep as a rabbi and Emma Thompson as a bag-lady, it also featured a brief scene where the mannequin of a Mormon Mother (Robin Weigert) in a museum exhibit came to life. J Roy Helland was makeup and hair designer; Joseph A. Campayno was key makeup; Kelly Gleason was makeup artist; John Caglione Jr was makeup artist (Al Pacino).
Le Temps retrouvé: Marcel Proust is on his deathbed, looking at photographs which bring memories of his childhood, his youth, and his lovers. In one scene party guests are seen frozen as mannequins. Dominique Plez and Benoît Lestang were key makeup artists; Emmanuel Pitois was special makeup effects artist.
Heavenly Creatures: Pauline Rieper (Melanie Lynskey) and
Juliet Hulme (Kate Winslet) are two teenage girls who form an intense friendship with an overactive fantasy life leading to the murder of Pauline’s mother. In one fantasy sequence Pauline and Juliet find thems in the midst of a crowd of Borovnians and are then seen in Borovnian guise themselves: I’m not sure who was under this makeup but I doubt it was Melanie and Kate. Richard Taylor (Weta FX), in an early partnership with Peter Jackson, was responsible for the Borovnian prosthetics and suit effects.
