Lily Cole Finds Her Rage at Berlin Film Festival February 9, 2009 4:00 pm >> Lily Cole took a break from school in Cambridge over the weekend to promote the premiere of one of two movies she has coming out this year — Rage — at the Berlin Film Festival.  The low-budget film — a offbeat murder mystery set in the contemporary New York fashion world — stars Jude Law as a cross-dressing model named Minx and Judi Dench as an acerbic fashion writer; Lily appropriately plays a young model named Lettuce Leaf, although her natural red hair which made her name has been replaced with a bleached blonde bob for the role.*image: source, source View Slideshow ›
