Review of Stormy Monday (1988) by Philip M — 07 Nov 2007
They don't make em like this anymore...
Early Film4 production and what the cast listing on Flixter [to my right as I type this] does not say is that actually the stars are Sting and a very young Sean Bean.
Set in Sting's Newcastle jazz club TLJ plays a nasty american developer who wants to knock down half the city to build liesure and retail...Sting stops him, Girffiths shags Bean and the scene with the cigar guilotine is fab.
Go find!
[p.s. Figgis delivers the goods in his first big screen outing that launched him and Bean to the USA; capitalism, greed vs. hard work and 'values'. there's even a REAL Lithuanian jazz band!].
