"Frost/Nixon" (2008) - Acting 101: Study Frank Langella as Richard Nixon after he's asked about what he'd tell the American people about his wrongdoings. His face reflects about four changes in intention before he speaks. It's truly a brilliant performance, playing a fearsome fallen president. And Michael Sheen, as a man digging inside for hidden depth, also is worth studying.

I'd waited for the DVD release for this, and I'm glad I did. Check out the feature with clips from the actual Frost-Nixon interviews.
