A cynical and pessimistic Manchester drifter, Johnny (David Thewlis), arrives in London, afflicting his ex-girlfriend and her flatmate with an unsolicited visit. When he isn't having rough sex with the roommate or pestering the night watchman at a sterile, modern office complex, he berates his ex for her bourgeois urban tendencies. Leigh's portrait of a deteriorating world at the end of the twentieth century is an intense drama, which packs an even greater punch due to Thewlis's stunning performance as the bitter Johnny.
Mike Leigh's violent and disturbing look at the milieu inhabited by London's homeless. David Thewlis is the motor-mouthed protagonist; bitter, cynical and on the run from Manchester after raping a woman. He arrives in London, shacking up with his ex-girlfriend and her gothic flatmate, before drifting onto the streets - undergoing a series of encounters which convince him of the spiritual emptiness of modern life. As with many of Leigh's films, the dialogue was often improvised by the cast.
