Before
independent
Irish
director
Neil
Jordan
really
made
the
world
sit
up with
his
movies
The
Crying
Game
and
Interview
With
The
Vampire,
he made
some
very
good
and
totally
engrossing
movies
like
The
Company
Of Wolves,
and
this
one,
Mona
Lisa.
Set
in the
London
underworld,
an ex-con
takes
the
job
as chauffeur
for
one
of his
mob
bosses'
top
call
girls.
His
growing
infatuation
with
her
and
subsequent
moral
awakening
in witnessing
this
seedy
life
and
human
disregard
in the
shadow
of money
sets
him
off
to take
action.
Mona
Lisa
is a
very
dark
and
gritty,
but
captivating
and
emotional
film
peeking
into
a world
many
of us
will
never
enter.
Hoskins
was
nominated
for
a Best
Actor
Oscar
(1987),
but
walked
off
with
the
BAFTA
for
his
performance
as George.
