Lost in Translation
After making her film debut at the age of 10 with A Boy Called North, in 1994, she appeared in several films and we saw her grow up in the cinema. In 2003, at just 19 years old, she became a star thanks to Girl with a Pearl Earring and, above all, the debut of her friend Sofia Coppola. In Lost in Translation she is a newlywed girl with a photographer whom she accompanies on a trip to Tokyo. While her husband works for her, she gets bored and has a few drinks with a mature man who is as funny as he is skeptical, the great Bill Murray.
Ghost in the Shell: The Soul of the Machine
Fully immersed in the world of superheroes and science fiction, Scarlett stars in this cyberpunk action film where she leads an elite commando that fights against cyberterrorism and technological crimes. When she was told about her character she asked, "Obviously I'm not going N-, am I?"
The Girl of the Pearl
Scarlett stumbles across a role that fits her like a glove and is made known to the whole world. She plays a shy and sensitive girl who begins a quiet emotional relationship with the famous painter Vermeer in the 17th century. Based on the bestseller by Tracy Chevalier.
The black dahlia
She rocks the role of femme fatale typical of classic '40s and '50s films in director Brian de Palma's immersion into classic film noir. she Recreates the case of the macabre murder of a young woman in 1947, in Los Angeles, which shocked public opinion and was never solved. It is said that Scarlett and the protagonist, Josh Hartnett, had a relationship outside of the spotlight (and the S- scene on the table).
Match Point
One more role to Scarlett's list of abilities, which she has later repeated in other films, is that of a geek, which here combines again with that of a femme fatale who uses her charms to try to rise in the British social class and, incidentally, hook up with Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Directed by Woody Allen in 2005.
Lucy
Scarlett loves this role as an apocalyptic designer heroine and avenger with a cause, who is relentless when it comes to taking out the bad guys. Curiously, this film directed by Luc Besson was designed so that the protagonist was initially Angelina Jolie.
Scoop
After her brilliant role in Math Point, and already converted into one of the S- symbols of the 20th century, Woody Allen makes her his muse in his new film, Scoop, released in 2006. Scarlett plays a journalism student who travels from the United States to London to interview a famous director.
The final trick
Scarlett wanted to be in the cast of one of Christopher Nolan's movies, and she got it, even though her character is somewhat accessory. Starring Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman, it tells of the rivalry between two magicians at the end of the 19th century. It is by no means the best role of Scarlett's career, but the film is one of the most prestigious of the past decade.
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
One more project with Woody Allen, to whom Scarlett declared her unconditional love and trust: "I love Woody. I believe him, and I would work with him at any time." If in Match Point she played one of the best roles of her career, in this clumsy, perhaps Allen's worst film, neither she nor Penélope Cruz nor Javier Bardem manage to raise a nonsense script.
