Butterfly Kiss (1995)
Bordering on horror.
The title is misleading for a film that really doesn't have anything pleasant about it. Amanda Plummer's character made my skin crawl and still haunts me when watching her other work. I suppose this gives strength to her performance and shows she is a great character actor. Saskia Reeves takes on a role as a wimpish lesbian besotted with Amanda Plummer's character. Saskia usually plays stronger more interesting roles but I suppose it creates contrast. Be prepared for a road movie with a difference. Lots of gore and little compassion.
Meantime (1983)
A rather drab film. Not one of Leigh's best.
Meantime is drab. Character's are not particularly interesting but I did view it more than a decade later. Interesting to see how Tim Roth and Gary Oldman started out. Perhaps this was an earlier model for the TV series, 'The Royales'. 'The Royales' are much more engaging.
