Jonathan Demme jolts Venice filmfest with family drama
0 Comments | AFP, September, 2008
VENICE, Italy (AFP) — US "Silence of the Lambs" director Jonathan Demme jolted Venice film critics Wednesday with a stirring new family drama that tightens the race for the festival's Golden Lion prize.
His emotion-packed "Rachel Getting Married" stars Anne Hathaway as a recovering drug addict who shakes up her sister's wedding with an overdose of honesty about their dysfunctional family.
"People ask me what it was like to play such a troubled character, such a tortured character, a character so consumed with darkness," Hathaway told a news conference.
"But I never saw her in any of those ways. I just thought she was a girl struggling to live an honest life. And she is honest, fiercely, painfully, impolitely honest," Hathaway added.
