ReplyDeletePerhaps an underappreciated Hitchock by fans of his more thrilling suspense films, but over the years has proved to be one of his richest and deepest works with so much to enjoy.
Long Good Friday:
What more could you ask for than Oskins being a tough guy here, fitting to the spirit of 80s greed he is obssessed with the idea of his own invincibility, until he happens to crash against an immovable wall, the shady forces of the IRA which are suggested in the film but almost never seen, making them all the more sinister.
Long Good Friday:
ReplyDeleteSubs weren't available and I didn't understand half of it. Unfortunately had to give up on it :(
No need for subs to appreciate the beautifully furry chest of Bob Oskins.
