Sally Potter’s RAGE Multi-Platform Release
Judi Dench, Jude Law (as a female top model), Riz Ahmed
In conjunction with its traditional media release worldwide, Sally Potter’s Rage will be released — as a series of episodes — by web TV service Babelgum online and via mobile through the fall/winter of 2009.
Starring 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, David Oyelowo, and Dianne Wiest, Rage premiered at the 2009 Berlin Film Festival.
The film’s setting is a New York fashion house, where a young blogger shoots behind-the-scenes interviews on his cell-phone with an eclectic group of people, including a celebrity supermodel, a seamstress, a pizza delivery guy, and a war-zone photographer. During that time, all sorts of happenings take place, from secret confessions to murder.
Among Potter’s previous efforts are the interethnic love story Yes, with dialogue in iambic pentameter, and starring Joan Allen and Simon Abkarian; and Orlando, with Tilda Swinton in the title role and Quentin Crisp as Queen Elizabeth I. (Personally, I think Clint Eastwood would have been a better choice for the Queen. If we’re going to take the quirky route, why not go all the way? But then again, perhaps Eastwood was unavailable at the time.)
