This episode is the first of three to dive into features from our newly redesigned September-October issue, which asks “What Is Cinema Now?”  Shonni Enelow, author of Method Acting and Its Discontents: On American Psycho-Drama and assistant professor of English at Fordham University, wrote a feature about an emerging trend in contemporary American acting, characterized by restraint and withholding emotion.
