Never seen this, but I'll probably give it a blind buy though. Feel like I need to fill some gaps in my knowledge of 80s British cinema.

Very good movie, but what's up with that ridiculously bad artwork from Criterion? It seriously looks like something you'd find on that Perez Hilton site. A rear miss from Criterion in this dept. Their covers are usually works of art.

I haven't watched this one in at least 20 years.... glad I waited for the BD release before revisiting. Looking forward to this one!

I think that the artwork is appropriate to the time and feel of the film. The lick is a strange choice, but I like it. Undoubtedly it's far superior to the ridiculous theatrical poster.

Anyone know if this is the master from the Criterion or BFI release in this clip below? Park Circus are rereleasing the film to UK cinemas next month but I wouldn’t go if it’s the older master

Daniel Day-Lewis was so handsome in this movie...sigh.

I've always wondered why Frear/Kureishi's subsequent collaboration, SAMMY AND ROSIE GET LAID, has never even been on DVD anywhere.
