A cynical and pessimistic Manchester drifter, Johnny (David Thewlis), arrives in London, afflicting his ex-girlfriend and her flatmate with an unsolicited visit. When he isn't having rough sex with the roommate or pestering the night watchman at a sterile, modern office complex, he berates his ex for her bourgeois urban tendencies. Leigh's portrait of a deteriorating world at the end of the twentieth century is an intense drama, which packs an even greater punch due to Thewlis's stunning performance as the bitter Johnny.
"...A brilliant somersault of a movie that lands this fine English director in dark new cinematic territory..."
-- Vincent Canby
, (New York Times)
"...Brilliantly observed..." - Recommended -- Anthony Reilly , (Premiere) "...A strangely moving love story....Anchored by a confident tour de force from Thewlis..." -- Derek Elley , (Variety) "With lunatic swagger and gonzo jive, Thewlis explores the dark pits of nocturnal London..." -- Grade: A -- Timothy Gunatilaka , (Entertainment Weekly)
