Benjamin Bollen works on emotional range rather than volume, and the catalogue keeps proving that the quieter choice was the correct one.
The essay
Our editors on the work, the patterns and the reason this body of work holds together.
Benjamin Bollen appears in 7 films in the Nutevio catalogue, and none of them would work the same way without Benjamin. Miraculous World: Tokyo, Stellar Force is the clearest case: a film rated 8.5 by our editors, where the performance carries weight the script only implies.
The recognisable elements are emotional range, action, versatility. Watch two of these films back to back and the method separates from the material — the same instrument, tuned differently for action, fantasy, adventure. It is a style built on what is withheld as much as what is played.
Working with Jun Violet, Thomas Astruc, Jeremy Zag, Benjamin Bollen helped set a standard other performers now audition against. Awards bodies have been slower than the work, which is usually the sign of a career built on choices rather than campaigns.

Categories of our own

The one that survives a fourth viewing. Nothing in the performance depends on surprise, which is why it keeps paying out.
Most emotional performance
Miraculous: Ladybug & Cat Noir, The Movie
