Recently showcased at the Berlinale Festival this year is the new movie by Sally Potter: “RAGE”. The title of Brit helmer Sally Potter’s latest, “Rage,” partly refers to some of its characters’ seething emotions, and partly reps an ironic truncation of the fashion-world phrase “all the rage.”
The film is a laugh-out-loud exposé of the inner lives of individuals working at a New York fashion house; background interviews shot by a schoolboy, called Michelangelo, on his cellphone camera for his webpage - over seven days in which an accident on the runway becomes a murder investigation. It shows the abyss of the rotten and superficious fashion business, broken dreams, conflicts with oneself and with others and intimate confessions.
David Oyelowo as Homer (above), who provides the comedy of a police detective with a bloated sense of his intuition and likes to quote Shakespeare but with a jive-talking Huggy Bear accent, is outstanding.
The cast includes Simon Abkarian, Patrick J. Adams, Riz Ahmed, Bob Balaban, Adriana Barraza, Steve Buscemi, Jakob Cedergren, Lily Cole, Judi Dench, Eddie Izzard, Jude Law, John Leguizamo, and Dianne Wiest.
Go and see this film wherever its on show.
Looks very interesting, Devil wears Prada, meets Cluedo meets Talking Heads - and with David in... FABULOUS!
