Remastered for this edition, Neil Jordan's acclaimed thriller centers on Fergus (Stephen Rae), who kidnaps British soldier Jody (Forest Whitaker) for the IRA, befriends his captive and promises to contact his girlfriend, Dil (Jaye Davidson), should Jody die. When tragedy occurs, Fergus finds Dil and they hit it off -- but Fergus is in for a big surprise. Miranda Richardson also stars.
Extras include director's commentary and an alternate ending.
Watching again for class. Not a favorite, but I have to appreciate the nuance and thought-provoking commentary on identity and gender roles here. Not just a movie about a transvestite, kids.
