Angelina Jolie's "Unbroken" met w/ "warm applause" at its world premiere in Sydney
Elsewhere in the interview, O'Connor revealed that the last time she met Prince, whose track 'Nothing Compares 2 U' she famously covered, they "had a fist fight".
"There was quite a scene," she said of the incident that allegedly took place in the early 1990s. "I ended up having to escape from his house. I was running around his car, spitting at him and he’s trying box me – all at six o’clock in the morning. I rang on someone’s doorbell to get in their house because Prince was about to kick the living **** out of me.
Reaction to the often-intense film was largely positive, with the black-tie audience gasping audibly at one particularly shocking maritime moment and the unrelenting visceral wartime brutality that punctuates Zamperini’s tale of survival.
Warm applause at the end of the film drowned out the opening bars of the Coldplay tune penned just for the closing credits.
