Rage - DVD

Director Sally Potter examines the effects of globalism in the information age in this drama following a young blogger named Michelangelo as he interviews a series of eccentric subjects over the course of seven days. In a prominent New York fashion house, flamboyant designer Merlin prepares to debut his latest collection as curious blogger Michelangelo shoots interviews on his mobile phone. His subjects; a disparate mix of New York denizens including a celebrity supermodel named Minx, a financial backer named Tiny Diamonds, a seamstress named Anita de Los Angeles, a pizza delivery boy named Vijay, a war photographer named Frank, and a critic named Mona Carvell. The fashion industry is in crisis thanks to globalisation and a faltering economy. As the ever-increasing gap between appearance and reality widens, Michelangelo becomes the person everyone turns to in order to vent their frustrations. Later, when a model dies on the runway and police launch a murder investigation, the interviews take the form of confessionals in the eyes of a child armed with the two most powerful tools of his generation: the Internet and a mobile phone.

Shot entirely in a talking head-style against a rainbow of blank backgrounds, RAGE lets the story unfold through the thoughts, opinions and witness accounts of the characters. Potter's star-studded cast --which includes Judi Dench, Dianne Wiest, John Leguizamo, Eddie Izzard, Jude Law, Steve Buscemi and Lily Cole-- interweave these strands to produce a uniquely complex, multi-layered film.
