Shopping (1994)
Country: GB/JAP
Technical: col 105m
Director: Paul W.S. Anderson
Cast: Jude Law, Sadie Frost, Sean Pertwee, Jonathan Pryce
Synopsis:
Life is all kicks and street rep for Billy, a recidivist, anarcho-materialist, joyrider-cum-ramraider. For a while he and his Irish moll cut a dash through the ranks of the law and professional thieves, but she recants as his actions grow increasingly reckless.
Review:
Before he started filming video games, Anderson delivered this morally bankrupt and profane piece of Brit-trash, allowing him to indulge in his penchant for industrial punk aesthetics and toss around movie quotes from Streets of Fire to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. It is as arch as a Walter Hill movie and as tacky as Quadrophenia, but it launched its star's career as well as its director's. Frost was less fortunate.
