Five years after The Long Good Friday, Bob Hoskins returned to the gangster genre, but his character George is a mere underling this time, a chauffeur hired by a mesmerisingly slimy gangland kingpin to transport a high-class prostitute from client to client. When she enlists his help in tracking down an old friend, George finds himself exploring a hellish underworld that he never imagined existed.

writer-director neil jordan's breakthrough film is a brilliant, noir-infused love story. bob hoskins (who snagged an oscar nomination for his performance) plays george, a small-time loser employed as a chauffeur to an enigmatic, high-class call girl. his fascination with her leads him on a dangerous quest through the sordid underbelly of london, where love is a weakness to be exploited and betrayed. criterion is proud to present 'mona lisa' in a director approved special edition.
