Here is the low down on RAGE, a movie starring Jude Law and which has him looking like that picture above. Oh yeah, that’s Jude Law. I almost forgot to mention that was Jude Law in that picture.
Part of the subject matter of RAGE is the ugly use of beauty in the pursuit of profit. Drugged by Marketing, sapped by fear of aging, conned by the cult of celebrity… image becomes all.
Jude Law, whose beauty has sometimes been held against him as an actor, made the courageous decision to accept the role of Minx – a “celebrity super-model” and took on a kind of hyper-beauty for this persona… a ‘female’ beauty which gradually unravels as the story unfolds.
Strangely, the more he became a ‘she’, coiffed and made-up – the more naked was his performance. There was great strength in his willingness to make himself vulnerable. It was an extraordinarily intense part of the shoot.
The movie also has Eddie Izzard, Judi Dench, Steve Buscemi, and the ability to render my penis completely and utterly useless.
