Michelangelo, an unseen schoolboy armed only with a mobile phone, 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, and his interviews with key players become a bitterly funny exposé of an industry in crisis.
Everyone from the designer (Simon Abkarian) and his models (supermodel Lily Cole and Jude Law in drag), to the toxic fashion critic (Academy Award winner Judi Dench), the desperate war photographer turned paparazzo (Steve Buscemi) and the fashion house financier (Eddie Izzard), confides in Michelangelo and their deepest secrets are laid bare.
From Sally Potter, director of the Oscar-nominated “Orlando”, RAGE defies the usual conventions of cinema and focus entirely on the individual performances of it’s world-class cast.

Every year we have a special feature night and it will be a pleasure for us to represent Sally Potter’s movie.
