Press Release Summary: An exclusive inside look at the BFI London Film Festival
screening of the new Harmony Korine movie, \'Mister Lonely\' and the Norfolk star,
Melita Morgan, giving a first class performance as Madonna.

Press Release Body: The Odeon Leicester Square in London opened it\'s doors to an
array of stars for Mister Lonely directed by Californian mastermind Harmony Korine.
Crowds gathered along side the red carpet hours before the scheduled screening to
catch a glimpse of the star studied cast that grace the movie.

Diego Luna Samantha Morton Denis Lavant, Anita Pallenberg and Norfolk\'s Melita
Morgan were amongst the expected guests to accompany director Harmony Korine at a
packed theatre. The eagerly awaited film is one of Harmony\'s most powerful and
compelling cinematic creations to date with comedy, twists, real life drama
situations all cleverly rolled into one.

Making her debut international silver screen appearance was the golden girl of
Norfolk, Melita Morgan that stunned the crowd with a dazzling gown that was
sponsored by Love Couture of Norwich. Melita strolled effortlessly across the
entrance to an array of camera flashes and made time for fans and media. Norwich
born Melita was approached by film chiefs to play a principle role as a madonna
impersonator sometime last year.

Harmony led the cast onto the stage with his wife Rachel Korine (that plays little
red riding hood in the movie) in front of an excited audience to rapturous applause.
Some of the world wide reviews the movie had gained were read out just before the
curtains opened. One by one Harmony\'s carefully chosen dream cast, as described by a
fan in the audience, stepped up on stage to a seemingly continuos applause of
approval. It was obvious that the selected actors weren\'t bought together by chance
and it was Harmony\'s creative genius that instigated the winning formula. \'The
casting audition was a long drawn out character breakdown\' explained Melita Morgan
that plays Madonna in the film \'It was a thorough and tough schedule that tested my
acting abilities to the extreme, anyone that has worked with Harmony Korine would
know exactly what I mean\'


Diego Luna stars as an innocent Michael Jackson impersonator who is completely
besotted by the character he portrays to the extent that he believes he is actually
that person. A dramatic display of Michael Jackson high-kicks and manoeuvres with
outstanding sound edits introduce Diego Luna in a Paris park. The element of black
comedy is quickly introduced at the beginning of the film and is a trend that
follows throughout the movie that creates the laughs amongst underlining sadness and
tragedy. This amazing story unfolds when Michael meets a Marilyn Monroe impersonator
\'Samantha Morton\' at an old peoples home, who then persuades him to join her in a
commune of impersonators in the Scottish highlands.


The scenery surrounding a castle and musical scores are breathtaking and deserve
high rating status alone. It is here that Michael gets to know the other
impersonators, including Marilyn\'s obsessive husband Charlie Chaplin - \'Denis
Lavant\', her daughter Shirley Temple, Madonna - \'Melita Morgan\' The Queen - \'Anita
Pallenberg\', The Pope - \'James Fox\' - and Abraham Lincoln \'Richard Strange\' The
charming and talented Denis Levant demonstrates some superb acting in his
challenging role, when I asked him what it was like working with Harmony and what
were his views on the movie at the after show gathering he simply smiled rolled a
cigarette and replied \"très bon\"

Werner Herzog plays a drunken missionary complete with sky-diving nuns that emphasis
and intriguingly link the beliefs of the impersonators to the unconditional belief
of these spiritual characters. It\'s important to understand the connection and
reason for these added clips to benefit the full power and effect of the movie as a
whole.

The performances are exceptional and convincingly drag us into a web of lust,
deception and eventually the inevitable painful truth. Only Harmony can make an
audience laugh, cry and shockingly silent all in one movie, this is what makes his
productions unique and compelling. The added twists are a bonus.

Every character in the film gives their all, including Melita who plays a sultry
Madonna in her first ever big screen appearance. Melita\'s daughter, Angel also
appears in the film together with future young star 9 year old Michael - Joel
Stewart.


The movie definitely captures the identity confusion and sad realities that
sometimes reflect onto the lookalike world. Perhaps Harmony hits a nerve not just in
the acting circle but in today\'s society in general, that is why I personally feel
this movie steps more into a commercial bracket and will have even more appeal than
his precious work. I have seen past films directed by him and feel he has
triumphantly surpassed them with this one. The movie is boosted by Samantha Morton -
\'Marilyn\' and Diego Luna, as well as excellent performances from Anita Pallenberg.
Richard Strange, adds to the comedy as Lincoln.

The film was best described by a member of the audience during question time at the
end as a poem that gels together by a dream cast that is bought to life by an
exceptional producer.

The movie is due for an international cinematic release in March 2008. This is much
later than anticipated due to a global success at all the major film festivals
around the world including Cannes.
