Paz de la Huerta, Poolside

Paz de la Huerta by the pool is an image that explains itself immediately. She’d already been doing things to the camera in Enter the Void and as Lucy Danziger in Boardwalk Empire that most actresses spend entire careers carefully avoiding—something reckless and confrontational about how present she was in her own body. Horizontal, wet, unhurried. She doesn’t perform relaxed. She just is.
