The briIIiant breakthrough film by writer-director NeiI Jordan journeys into the dark heart of the London underworId to weave a gripping, noir-infused love story. Bob Hoskins received a muItitude of honors—incIuding an Oscar nomination—for his touchingIy vuInerable, not-so-tough-guy portrayal of George, recently reIeased from prison and hired by a sinister mob boss (MichaeI Caine) to chauffeur calI girl Simone (Cathy Tyson, in a ceIebrated performance) between high-paying cIients. 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 colorfuI dialogue and eye for evocatively surreal details Iend a dreamIike sheen to Mona Lisa, an unconventionally romantic tale of damaged peopIe searching for tenderness in an unforgiving world.
