Rage against the fashion machine

Posted Jul 30, 2009

The online premiere of Sally Potter’s star-studded ode to the fashion world, RAGE will hit the virtual world in September. Jude Law as a mysterious celebrity supermodel, and Judi Dench as jaded fashion critic - this we have to see.

Rage's story centres around a schoolboy who uses his cellphone camera to shoot intimate interviews with people working at a New York fashion house. During his time at the company, an accident occurs on the runway (of all places) which develops into a murder investigation.

Rage also contains some of our favourite fashion quotes to date. Judie Dench above who plays a hard-nosed fashion journalist states that, "fashion is not an art form at all, it's pornography to which millions are addicted, hopelessly addicted." That would include us then...

The film's director, Sally Potter who has one of the most intriguing, beautiful and thoughful sites we've seen - www.sallypotter.com has, from the early 1970’s, embraced dance, theatre, music and film.

After her cult hit with the short film Thriller (1979), Potter directed her first feature, The Gold Diggers (1983), starring Julie Christie. Shen then made another short, The London Story (1986), and several documentaries before the internationally acclaimed and multi-award winning Orlando (1992), starring Tilda Swinton.

This was followed by The Tango Lesson (1996) and The Man Who Cried (2000), starring Christina Ricci, Johnny Depp, Cate Blanchett and John Turturro.

Writing her own blog on the site - she has managed to pinpoint eloquently the rise of blgos, terming them "white noise". Her online notice board is a hot bed of interaction that leaves us thinking, there are still some remaining talent who genuinally love what they're doing rather than for a photoshoot in Hello. Talking of which...back to fashion...
