La nave sepolta

Fans of Carey Mulligan will appreciate her nuanced performance in 'The Dig,' where she portrays Edith Pretty, a character marked by quiet strength and deep emotional complexity. This role showcases Mulligan's ability to convey profound resilience and introspection, similar to her portrayal of Daisy Buchanan in 'The Great Gatsby,' which remains one of her most iconic performances. While Daisy's character is known for her glamorous allure and tragic vulnerability, Edith Pretty offers a more grounded and contemplative presence. An interesting detail is that Mulligan took a brief pause from acting to immerse herself in the historical context of the 1930s to authentically embody Edith's serene determination and connection to the archaeological discovery central to the film.
