RAGE

the movie Rage, written and directed by Sally Potter was a big deal in the fashion world over the summer. originally released as a series of shorts, the premise is interesting. A young kid interviews a series of important fashion people on his cell phone before a fashion house's big show, tragedy strikes, leaving the interviewer in the middle of a series of catastrophic events.

a TON of great people are in this movie. judi dench, steve buscemi, eddie izzard are just a few of the highlights of this film that is literally focused only on the characters. the majority of the movie is filmed with multiple brightly colored backgrounds, with no scenery and no visuals of any actual events. just interviews. and jude law in drag.

though the story line requires watchers to suspend disbelief somewhat, it has some amazing acting that covers many different concerns, not just the ruthlessness of the fashion industry.

i loved it, but then i also love ensemble films. excellent stuff, you can watch it instantly on netflix or check it out HERE!
