BUTTERFLY KISS
|
|
-"There's more to Life than this" is played, from Bjork's 'Debut' Album.
Also features music by PJ Harvey and the Cranberries.
- THE STORY: Eunice (Plummer) is a dangerously disturbed killer who wanders
the motorways of England in search of her lover, Judith. She meets up
with the simple-minded Miriam (Reeves) who is desperate for companionship
and together the two women set off on a road trip so grim it makes Thelma
And Louise look like Summer Holiday.
PROS: Like TV's Cracker, Butterfly Kiss looks into the minds of people who
exist on the edges of society and it is very unnerving to watch Amanda
Plummer's version of madness.
CONS: Sadly, Plummer's English accent is dubious to say the least.
VERDICT: Very bleak, very grey, very hard going.

Kiss!
