Aging Hollywood divas hit Berlinale red carpetIt was "Michelle Ma Belle" on the Berlin front pages this morning announcing the arrival on day six of still fairly pretty, 49 year old Hollywood star, Michelle Pfeiffer, here to rep her competition film "Chéri" in which she plays an aging coutrtesan (French euphemism for "high class hooker") in hopeless love with a much younger debauché -- French for "degenerate profligate", of masculin gender. The classy period piece set in "Belle Epoche" France (the period from the turn of the century to World war I) is based on a typical Colette tale of Gallic decadence and is directed by classy British director Stephen Frears, 67, most recently Oscarized for "The Queen". This picture is, in fact, kind of a reprise of another Frears-Pfeiffer collaboration, "Dangerous Liaisons" (Les liaisons dangéreuses) 1988, dealing with French boudoir dilly-dallying, in which Michelle played a much younger version of herself today. (In that one the older hooker was Glen Close) 11.02.2009 | Editor's blog Cat. : actor actress Arts Berlin Bruce Willis Bruce Willis Chéri Chéri Cinema of the United States Colette Critic Dangerous Liaisons Dangerous Liaisons Demi Moore Demi Moore Director Entertainment Entertainment Films French boudoir Glen Close Happy Tears Helen Mirren Hollywood Kathy Bates Les Liaisons dangereuses Michelle Pfeiffer Michelle Pfeiffer Mitchell Lichtenstein Parker Posey Person Attributes Person Career Person Relation Queen Rip Torn Rupert Friend San Francisco Social Issues Social Issues Stephen Frears Stephen Frears Superman Returns The Queen Twelve Monkees |
