Rage, or at least indignant annoyance, may also be what some auds will feel after having paid to see this lame black comedy-cum-indictment of the fashion industry.

If the performances were more accomplished, or if the murder mystery storyline were less marginal, or if%u2014the simplest fix%u2014the film were simply shorter, we might not feel as weary about spending time with these fashion insiders.

Eschewing the lazy carelessness of so many misguided digital enthusiasts, Potter's rigor becomes a refreshing reminder of true cinematic values.

Claustrophobic, repetitive and mostly ludicrous, Potter's would-be satire on the power of the Internet, the fashionistas and the compulsively confessional world of celebrity, might have filled a sketch but does not a feature film make.

Audience Reviews for Rage

Written and directed by Sally Potter, "Rage" is something of a failed experiment. Taking place over the seven days of Fashion Week, a vlogger, Michelangelo, interviews the participants from the top to the bottom of the industry, and all in between. There is little of interest until he stumbles across a story, amongst the protests by garment workers for higher wages that are barely covered by the press, when shots are fired. Even through this, most of the characters are only interested in themselves, so their storylines never come together to form a coherent whole. Still, there is an excellent cast including Judi Dench, Steve Buscemi, Dianne Wiest, John Leguizamo, Eddie Izzard amd David Oyelowo who are all fun to watch. Of particular notice is Jude Law, almost unrecognizable as a model, and not a male one either. And the movie almost has something worthwhile to say about fame on the internet that Michelangelo achieves of sorts, even though he is not using his real name by focusing on the fame of others.

This is apparently the end result of the film project which formed the back story for 'The Tango Lesson'. For the amount of time and effort that went into this it has to be considered a disappointment. Its really just a bunch of monologues by the actors and the plot is pretty much beside the point. The actors are very good and kept me entertained, but really no more so than if they had been talking about 'What I did last summer'. The most interesting segments feature Jude Law who masterfully plays a drag fashion model. Because of the lack of action or sets the movie can be watched on a small screen so it might be worth putting on a smartphone/tablet for an airplane flight but unfortunately thats about it.
