Photographs by Sally Potter.
Move over Harry; Sally Potter has the biggest, baddest magic trick in town. Not only was Potter able to coax Jude Law into drag as Minx in ‘Rage,’ but on a shoestring budget she’s managed to surround him with a respectable cast including Dame Judi Dench, Dianne Wiest, and John Leguizamo in this whodunit about a backstage murder at a fashion show. And she orchestrated all of this while leaving out the fashion (and fashion show), as Guy Trebay noted in his New York Times article about the film.
It’s not yet in theaters, but you can view clips on Babelgum of the film’s montage of caricatures, which includes Simon Abkarian, Patrick J. Adams, Riz Ahmed, Bob Balaban, Adriana Barraza, Steve Buscemi, Jakob Cedergren, Lily Cole, Eddie Izzard, and David Oyelowo.
Tweet Jude Law @Artful_Bloke to submit questions for the live Q&A with him and writer/director Sally Potter on Thursday, September 24th, at 5:00 PM EDT. In the meantime, check out more stills and the trailer after the jump.

“fashion is not an art form, if it’s anything it’s pornography…. to which millions are addicted hopelessly addicted” — best line i’ve heard all week.

HN,
Everyone likes to shit on fashion and everyone still wears the same clothes, from the same stores, trying make sure they aren’t too different from everyone else, following the same trends. Sure Mrs. Potter wants to rip on the fashion industry but why not rip on her own industry? It’s funny she finds her own medium an acceptable vessel to critique another, but fails to see that ability in clothing. Someone explaining that the fashion industry is superficial is like explaining that Paris Hilton is vulgar. Tell me something I don’t know. And if you are, try to be a little more artful about it, a Green screen? cast in a variety of colors- comes off as super cheesy and lazy rather than innovative and smart. It’s smelling like another dud of a movie, remember Pret-a-Poter? It also had an all star cast of Kim Bassinger, Forrest Whitaker, Julia Roberts, Tim Robbins, and Sophia Lauren with active support from fashion industry insiders… and it was an irrelevant mess. But I’ll check it out once it hits youtube, I’ll watch a lot of things on youtube.
