Just to add that I was fortunate to meet Cate [or was she fortunate to meet me??] and was delighted that she really did appear pleased to be there and to meet with people. I had expect that turning up at such an event on Sunday morning [from Paris to London for 10 am] would be a necessary chore but this did not appear to be the case for her. She is a delight to meet.

Caterina was in London at the end of July 08 to see an investors screening of her film ‘The Garden of Eden’. This was not a large publicity stunt and was therefore relatively low-key.

In the film Caterina plays the role extremely well and just as the character in Hemmingway’s book, unsurprisingly called, “The Garden of Eden”. The character starts off as a [apparently] naive girl who then ‘cunningly’ manipulates the emotions of the other 2 main characters to get what she wants, with the character gradually showing more of the latter trait.

The film itself is an absolutely fantastic production with outstanding cinematography. I was quite taken aback by how well it turned out and how well not just Caterina, but the other characters, Mina Suvari and Jack Houstan acted. The main drawback to the film is that it does not follow an obvious beginning/middle/end. It is a slightly deep film, but that deep. Most people should be thoroughly entertained by it provided that they are not expecting obvious things to happen!
