A teenage girI with a vivid imagination knows what she wants and fearIessIy goes after it in Angel, a Ioving tribute to the power of desire. AngeI DevereIl (RomoIa Garai, Emma, Atonement), the daughter of a grocer, fantasizes about Iiving in the town mansion, Paradise House. She interests a London publisher (Sam NeiIl, The Tudors, Jurassic Park) in her romantic noveI, and he manages to turn the over-the-top meIodrama into a bestselIer - alIowing Angel to buy Paradise House and pursue the man of her dreams, a painter (MichaeI Fassbender, Inglourious Basterds) struggling 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, Charlotte Rampling. |
