Miral, Julian Schnabel's controversial new film starring Freda Pinto, has found many supporters in Hollywood, like superstars Johnny Depp and Javier Bardem.
The story of an orphan (Pinto) growing up in the simmering Israeli-Palestinian border, the film courted controversy from the beginning and the recent murder of it's star Juliano Mer-Khamis in broad daylight, again saw it grab headlines.
A number of Jewish groups have asked for a ban on the film, including asking the UN not to show it at a planned screening.
In a new advertisement for the film in the Los Angeles Times, Depp and Bardem have lent their support to the film. "Julian Schnabel's film is a unique and courageous glimpse into one woman's painful journey. It is an epic poem teetering on the edge of a dagger. See it and decide for yourself," said Depp.
He was seconded by Oscar winning actor Bardem who is quoted as saying on the poster, "The Beauty of Julian Schnabel, he creates art that inspires discussion for World leaders and also touches the rest of us mere mortals on a very human and primitive level."Meanwhile the 26-year-old Slumdog Millionaire actress is winning rave reviews for her performance in the film.
