Exclusive Interview With Lee Daniels

Lee Daniels reflects on his film, Precious at the Montage in Beverly HIlls. Lee Daniels’s PRECIOUS: BASED ON THE NOVEL “PUSH” BY SAPPHIRE is a vibrant, honest and resoundingly hopeful film about the human capacity to grow and overcome. Set in Harlem in 1987, it is the story of Claireece “Precious” Jones (Gabourey Sidibe), a sixteen-year-old African-American girl born into a life no one would want. She’s pregnant for the second time by her absent father; at home, she must wait hand and foot on her mother (Mo’Nique), a poisonously angry woman who abuses her emotionally and physically. School is a place of chaos, and Precious has reached the ninth grade with good marks and an awful secret: she can neither read nor write.

Giorgio Armani collaborated with the architects Doriana and Massimiliano Fuksas to design the 5,200-square-foot restaurant and bar, which offers a stunning view overlooking Fifth Avenue. The multi-level store was conceived as a single, fluid space brought together by a central staircase. The restaurant’s beige walls, black floors and ceilings, and metal throughout combine to provide a glossy feel that evokes movement. Special attention has also been paid to the lighting which appears invisible and creates a theatrical mood. The hidden lighting emphasizes the use of curves, a consistent feature found throughout the restaurant and store. Armani /Ristorante 5th Avenue is open for lunch and dinner daily until 11 p.m. Monday-Saturday and until 5 p.m. on Sunday, with lunch service beginning at 11:30 a.m. With a menu evocative of Mr. Armani’s simple yet elegant aesthetic and a location in the heart of one of the world’s premier shopping districts, Armani / Ristorante 5th Avenue will offer guests authentic Italian cuisine in a welcoming and relaxed setting.
