Additional InformationIn Neil Jordan's MONA LISA, ex-con George (Bob Hoskins), expecting to be repaid after taking a fall for his crime boss, is reduced to driving classy call girl Simone (Cathy Tyson) to her jobs at London's finer hotels. Despite their differences--he's a poorly-educated, unattractive, and unsophisticated bigot; she's a beautiful, elegant, and intelligent black woman--George falls in love with her and agrees to help locate one of her old friends, a junkie still working the streets for a dangerously violent pimp.
ReviewsNew York Times - ...High style....Vividly realized characters behaving in unexpected ways..., Sight and Sound - ...Hoskins relishes the role and his relish is infectious...
