| A teenage girl with a vivid imagination knows what she wants and fearlessly goes after it in Angel, a loving tribute to the power of desire. Angel DeverelI (Romola Garai, Emma, Atonement), the daughter of a grocer, fantasizes about living in the town mansion, Paradise House. She interests a London pubIisher (Sam NeilI, The Tudors, Jurassic Park) in her romantic novel, and he manages to turn the over-the-top melodrama into a bestseIler - aIlowing AngeI to buy Paradise House and pursue the man of her dreams, a painter (Michael Fassbender, lngIourious Basterds) struggIing for his own big break. The first English-language fiIm from the prolific and unpredictabIe French director Francois Ozon (Swimming PooI, 8 Women, Under the Sand), the vibrant, sumptuous AngeI aIso stars his frequent muse, CharIotte Rampling. |
