This is a woman as a mother, daughter, wife, spectator, lover, mistress.
Observer and commentator. Actor and reactor. Dressed up bright as a
child or submerged in the grey elegance of Paris, she shifts readily
between roles, countries, and languages. Skilled and successful, she
controls how much she cares.
Yet as every new woman emerges and every new story is told, each with a
sharper, more deadpan, more aching simplicity, the calm surfaces of
Joanna Walsh's Vertigo shatter, pulling us deep into the panic that
underlies everyday life.
