Rachel Weisz: 'My parents were refugees. Brexit feels like a death' In her most successful decade, the actor talks family, ‘surrealist’ politics and the perils of marrying James Bond https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/j ... ke-a-death
Thank you for all the great info for Rachel's new film. Her dress, to die for, it's beautiful. I'm sure in person it was amazing. KH excellent reporting.
Can't wait to get home and see the movie.
"Rachel Weisz’s performance alone is worth the price of admission, and it’s always fun to watch her act circles around her scene partners. Also she looks INCREDIBLE."
"Is it fair to look beyond this project, and suggest the best is yet to come for Rachel?"
I read a review from a high source, something akin to Vanity Fair, that said the same thing. Said she acted circles around the young guy character.
Saw the Graham Norton Show this weekend but missed here reference to Danirl liking boxing. Did she say she has to leave the room? That easxacute show. She held her own with those big guys talking all sports.
'Disobedience' will screen at the Toronto International Film Festival on 10, 11, 14 and 16 September, 2017.
Sebastián Lelio (A Fantastic Woman, Gloria) directs Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams in this adaptation of Naomi Alderman’s novel about a woman who returns home to her orthodox Jewish community in London and rekindles a romance with her cousin’s wife.
Love and faith are placed in dramatic opposition in this new film from Gloria writer-director Sebastián Lelio — whose equally stirring A Fantastic Woman also screens at this year's Festival. Loosely based on British author Naomi Alderman's novel and co-scripted with playwright Rebecca Lenkiewicz, Lelio's first film set outside of his native Chilé stars Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams as two passionate women caught on either side of the line that divides the devout from the secular.
Happily single and living a rich life as a photographer in New York, Ronit (Weisz) is very much the black sheep of her London-based Orthodox Jewish family. When her revered rabbi father dies, Ronit returns home to pay her respects and liquidate her inheritance. But surprises await, chief among them the news that Dovid (Alessandro Nivola) — the heir apparent to Ronit's father and very much the son he never had — has married Ronit's childhood friend Esti (McAdams).
While Dovid prepares to take over the hallowed place at the synagogue, Ronit and Esti become reacquainted. An old flame is reignited — one that could torch everything this family most cherishes.
Paying equal respect to personal liberty and religious conviction, Disobedience is much more than a topical culture-war drama. It is a thoughtful, tender story about looking in, reaching out, discovering what you truly believe, and fighting for it.
