There’s an incredible sequence in REMEMBER MY NAME where Geraldine Chaplin is talking to the supervisor and she goes through 4 different emotions in a minute.
Alan Rudolph was homaging Rivette, building the story around his lead. Chaplin improvised the emotions in this scene & he captured it

The mess we are in is a direct result of the system that this man designed. He may have not meant it to fall into the hands of someone as artless and uncouth as Donald Trump, but all the same, he created it. His legacy will fade in favor of more brazen monsters, but we should never forget.
Dick Cheney, the former vice president who was instrumental in pushing the United States into the disastrous Iraq War, has died. He was 84.
