Watch Mona Lisa Online.
Movie Title: Mona Lisa Mona Lisa is available for streaming or downloading. |
“Mona Lisa” remains one of Neil Jordan’s best movies. Bob Hoskins plays George a microscopic time thug who took went to prison to protect his boss Mortwell (Michael Caine) . To reward George for his sacrifice he gives him a job chaffeuring around Simone (Cathy Tyson) a high priced call girl that Mortwell wants to retain track of. Despite her initial icy reception, George falls in fancy with her. Ultimately she asks him to originate a major sacrifice so she can be free of Mortwell and his world. It’s a ticket that leads to tragedy and violence.

A bright film noir, Hoskins earned an Oscar nomination for his performance and really he deserved it. His portrayal of George is complex. While he’s a criminal, he’s also surprisingly naive and innocent in his fill map and the code of conduct he follows in his life reflects grand more solid values than that of a petty crook. Michael Caine shines in a pivotal but limited role as Mortwell. Caine has never given a performance as unpleasant and chillingly unsuitable as he does here. Cathy Tyson (”The Serpent and the Rainbow”, “Priest”) also deserves kudos for her performance as Simone. Although the surface of her character is frigid she hints at the depths of emotion raging beneath the surface of this sophisticated and dark woman.
The Criterion edition of this looks exceptionally friendly with nice color reproduction and a crisp, enthralling describe. It appears that the same master that was traditional for the 1996 laserdisc was customary here, though, and it probably should have been remastered from a novel digital transfer. While presented in its unique format this isn’t an anamorphic transfer that I can swear which is, again, another reason to update this and acquire a high definition DVD.

Neil Jordan and Bob Hoskins commentary track provide a surprising amount of tantalizing detail about the making of the movie. Usually commentary tracks with an actor and director devolves into a lovefest with tiny actually uncovered but that’s not the case here. We learn about the exertion that Jordan had initially gripping backers in the project and how pivotal the casting of Michael Caine was to making this project viable.
I calm would have liked to have more in the draw of extras for this classic film. Like the modern re-release of “The Crying Game”, there has to be some alternate scenes that survived or outtakes that might have been of interest to fans. Additionally, why not do a retrospective documentary or a scrutinize assist at Jordan’s career as a featurette? Hopefully Criterion (or whomever picks up the license on this film for DVD release in the US) will remaster this and add the extras that this classic film calls for.
Fresh out of jail and trying to reconnect with his daughter, Hoskins is a working stiff/street thug who gets a job from crime boss Michael Caine chauffering a “high-class shadowy tart” played by Cathy Tyson. The Hoskins character is remarkably naive, falls in adore with the prostitute and tries to protect her, and difficulty ensues.

There’s an unforgettable moment, when they’re both in tears, hiding late comical plastic eyeglasses in a garish carnival setting, and, trying to justify her unique space that he’s objective beginning to understand, she says, “Haven’t you ever needed someone? ” and he squeezes out the reply: “All the time.”
It’s a remarkably tender fable in a chokingly terrifying environment. Caine is gruesomely sleazy.
I remember seeing this when it first came out, about the time of “Blue Velvet” and “Brazil”; what an incredible era that was! All three movies even had ironically sweet or upbeat theme songs from a few decades before.

Director Neil Jordan later moved on to the weirder pastures of “The Crying Game,” and then the glossy jobs “Interview with the Vampire” and now “The Kill of the Affair,” but I unruffled assume this his best — not to mention Bob Hoskins’s most improbable acting work.
