Michelangelo, the unseen schoolboy with his phone camera, goes behind the scenes at a New York fashion show during seven days in which an accident on the catwalk turns into a murder investigation.
Fourteen actors, both celebrated stars and exciting emerging talents, play characters who each have a role in the fashion show: from the designer (Simon Abkarian) and his models (supermodel Lily Cole and Jude Law, stunning in drag), the toxic fashion critic (Academy Award winner Judi Dench) the desperate paparazzo (Steve Buscemi), the fashion house financier (Eddie Izzard) and his bodyguard (John Leguizamo). As they start to confide in Michelangelo, their personal truths begin to surface and the reality of events taking place off screen at the show start to unravel.
Defying the usual conventions of film and using a radical narrative structure focusing entirely on individual performances, RAGE is the new cinematic creation from ground-breaking writer/director Sally Potter (Orlando, Yes, The Man Who Cried).
