Speaking at the iconic Film Festival, the two-time Oscar-winner blasted the film industry for the roles it offers women before attending the screening of her new movie.  

'One of my biggest pet peeves as an actor, whenever a male writer was searching for motivation for a woman they would always just go to rape. It was ridiculous,' she said. 

She also noted 'drastic changes' on film sets from her years as a child actor, when the only women on set were the make-up artists and the person playing her mother. 

Suited and booted! Jodie looked equally as chic at the Milan photocall where she donned a shimmering metallic suit that clung to her slender curves. She also donned a pair of gold strapped heels
Ready for business: Jodie seemed in good spirits on the day
