BERLIN - Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis wowed Berlin at the continental premiere of the “Sex and the City" film.
As part of a whirlwind courtship of Europe, where the former HBO show still counts an enthusiastic fan base despite having gone off the air four years ago, the quartet of New York women whose lives and loves were documented in the HBO series let it be known that time’s passage has not dulled their respective characters’ edge nor their personal bonds.
Parker, who plays columnist Carrie Bradshaw, and who made a splash earlier this week at the London premiere wearing a soaring Philip Treacy hat, was more subdued Thursday night, wearing a glittering beige, corsage-shaped dress.
“Versace made it for me tonight, specifically for Berlin," she said.
Nixon, who plays lawyer and mother Miranda, wore a long black gown and said that for women, friendship remained “extremely important."
Davis, whose Charlotte suffered a failed marriage in the show but found happiness with a balding divorce lawyer, said shooting the film, which features characters from the show, including the elusive yet sentimental Mr. Big, was “wonderful" but not a huge departure from shooting the series.
“It was wonderful, not really that different," she said. “You just have to shoot a little longer."
Cattrall, whose Samantha went through man after man before settling with a younger beau who remained by her side despite illness, said that her character was still wrestling with personal demons, namely the challenge of monogamy.
“Monogamy and Samantha don’t always go together, so that’s her big conflict," said Cattrall, who chatted with fans in German.
As for the famous Sex and the City love of high heeled shoes, Cattrall explained the appeal, throwing a little German into her answer.
“Well, sexy, “immer" (German for ‘always’) sexy," Cattrall said. “I think that a woman’s leg looks good in a shoe even though it kills her sometimes. Just that little bit of flirtation, it started in the end of the last century and it continues the fascination with the ankle."
The film opens 30th May in the United States. - AP
