When Farmiga says she’s in this business for “the enlightenment, not for the achievement or the glamour,” you actually believe her, just as you believe that she’s open to anything. That doesn’t mean you’re necessarily going to see her any time soon as a transsexual or a serial killer or any of those showstopping turns so beloved of heat-seeking actresses in search of an Oscar. “I’m not highbrow about genre, I love comedy and would certainly like to explore lighter fare,” says Farmiga, who’s currently in rehearsals for Henry’s Crime, a zanier romantic comedy with Keanu Reeves and James Caan. “I love to be surprised. I love to be blessed by the reading of a script. Because if it touches me, it’s sure to touch other people. That’s the only criterion, to be part of a project that keeps me awake, and supple, and taking risks.”
