The Devil Wears Prada / USA / 2006
A.k.a. My Life Two Years Ago, but that’s another story, and besides which, my devil favored Armani.
While Meryl Streep brings a dimension to the title character that is not afforded to her in the book, I was still troubled by the film’s assertion that a woman has to behave like a beast in order to retain power. The behind-the-scenes look at the world of an overworked assistant in one of New York’s glamour industries rang true, but the film ultimately felt like one gag (“what will the evil boss do next?”) stretched out over two hours.
