About this product

Product Information

This highly original film put screenwriter-director Neil Jordan on the international map. The story begins at a carnival in Ireland with British soldier Jody (Forest Whitaker) kidnapped by IRA terrorists Jude (Miranda Richardson) and Fergus (Stephen Rea). Fergus is assigned to guard Jody, and they become friends. After the kidnapping goes horribly wrong, Fergus escapes to London to track down Jody's girlfriend, Dil (Jaye Davidson), to fulfill a promise to Jody and ends up falling in love with her. The only problem--well, it's not the only problem--is Jude has also come to London with news that the IRA is after Fergus and has a dangerous new mission in mind.A sensation during its original release for its controversial plot development, THE CRYING GAME went on to win several awards and remains a tender and thrilling viewing experience. Jordan's script bristles with wit and intelligence, and the plentiful symbolic imagery shows the hand of a true artist. Ian Wilson's photography beautifully captures the various locales of London and rural Ireland. Boy George sings the title song, and the rest of the memorable score is by Anne Dudley.

  • Great Film That Was Truly Oscarworthy.

    I just saw this movie about a week ago because I heard so many positives about it. It came out in 1992 and I am so glad I bought it. A great movie with an outstanding cast.

  • "The Crying Game" is one of my favorite, thoroughly adult films.

    The acting in "The Crying Game" is very good and the story has several twists and turns. It is an unforgettable film. As stated before it is a thoroughly adult film.

  • Details, baby, details.

    Ultimately, a movie about the nature of man...or woman. As Dil says to Fergus when he was leaving, "Don't go like that. Can't help what I am." One of my favorite movies that I can't tell you too much about without spoiling it for you. The Irish accents can be brutal.

  • Good story and good actors

    This was an interesting story and the actors were talented...especially Jaye Davidson. Too bad that acting was not the desired occupation.
