Mike Leigh’s controversial epic stars David Thewlis as a deeply frustrated idealist. Disappointed with the material world at the end of the last century, and the impending millennial apocalypse, Johnny is aggressive and confrontational, but also eloquent, sexy and charming. He flees Manchester for London where he inflicts cynicism and despair on all those he meets.
David Thewlis turns in a magnificent, snarling performance in this film that is by turns hilarious, terrifying and thought-provoking. Winner of Best Director and Best Actor awards at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival.
