Davis has everything that Lopez doesn't in Maid in Manhattan: modesty, natural beauty, charisma, a wry sense of
humour — you could watch a whole movie about this persona, which is probably what Hughes had in mind, and her one sequence ends with a joke that
also happens to be a far more accurate representation of the
subtle fear that aristocracy puts in the minimum - wager than any of the Cinderella markers you'll find in Maid in Manhattan.
The exhibition
also includes the screening of a selection of films in their original format, as well as a solo piano concert by Michael Snow — a rare occasion to directly experience the
subtle humour, immense sophistication and creative freedom of this multifaceted artist's work.
