"A MASTERPIECE OF DARK HUMOUR. THE FINEST FILM OF THE DECADE - Empire Magazine". Mike Leigh's most controversial and commercial work to date is a nightmarish trawl through the twilight world of London's excluded and rejected. It's a London that many people prefer to ignore, where friendships are built on compassion and contempt, relationships are based on insults and violence and where sex is brutish and short. David Thewlis is Johnny the ultimate anti-hero of the nineties - cold, cynical and immoral, yet at times both caring and passionate. His complex existence is sketched with the hand of a master, as violence and gentleness, comedy and tragedy go hand in hand through a landscape inhabited by the sort of characters that most choose to forget. "Double Winner Palme D'Or, Cannes Film Festival 1993 - Best Director - Mike Leigh/ Best Actor - David Thewlis"
