Mona Lisa (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]

The brilliant breakthrough film by writer-director NEIL JORDAN (The Crying Game) journeys into the dark heart of the London underworld to weave a gripping, noir-infused love story. BOB HOSKIN (The Long Good Friday) received a multitude of honors—including an Oscar nomination—for his touchingly vulnerable, not-so-tough-guy portrayal of George, recently released from prison and hired by a sinister mob boss (The Italian Job’s MICHAEL CAINE) to chauffeur call girl Simone (Priest’s CATHY TYSON, in a celebrated performance) between high-paying clients. George’s fascination with the elegant, enigmatic Simone leads him on a dangerous quest through the city’s underbelly, where love is a weakness to be exploited and betrayed. Jordan’s colorful dialogue and eye for evocatively surreal details lend a dreamlike sheen to Mona Lisa, an unconventionally romantic tale of damaged people searching for tenderness in an unforgiving world.
