Real life often beats any fictional drama. It’s certainly the case when it comes to fashion’s most powerful woman Anna Wintour. It was entertaining to see Meryl Streep play the role as the ice queen in The Devil Wears Prada. But I can’t wait to see the real thing and Anna Wintour playing the role as her self in the documentary “The September Issue”. Apparently it’s dynamite to watch the woman behind the Chanel sunglasses unfold in a creative power struggle with Vogue’s cool creative director Grace Goddington. The film goes behind the scenes for the production of the massive 840-page issue of Vogue magazine for September 2007. I am going to watch it in Richmond Film house - part of the fabulous chain Curzon Cinemas, where you can always count on interesting films.
Speaking of great cinemas. Nothing really compares to Electric Cinema in Notting Hill. If you hurry you can catch the delightfully charming and inspiring Julie & Julia there. Lean back in the big comfy chairs, rest your feet on the stools in front of you and sip some white wine while enjoying Meryl Streep (that woman is truly exploring new sides to her talent) and Amy Adams cook creamy French food.
Watching film at the Electric is a pampering film experience!

I just need to add that The September Issue is an amazing documentary if you like fashion and workplace dramas. Grace Goddington is a star and proves you CAN be human and work at Vogue.
