"This is one of the best new British
films I have seen in the past few years . . .
funny, touching, cleverly constructed and beautifully acted."
-- Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
". . . the kind of film that attracts
superlatives without asking for them... a low key, modest, sensitive
and affecting movie which rises head and shoulders above the pack"
-- Tim Robey, The Daily Telegraph
". . . a modest movie, but it's been
made with real passion, heart and intelligence."
-- Christopher Kelly, Fort Worth Star-Telegram
A sharp, modern love story where lust, love and loyalty are stretched to their limits. Shocked by the death of a friend, Dan (Bill Nighy), Nick (Tom Hollander) and Tim (Douglas Henshall), decide to take their lives in hand but reckon without the three beguiling women they're about to meet. Dan is a faithful if frustrated husband and father until he meets the gorgeous and glamorous Corinne who awakens a sense of belated adventure in him. Nick is struggling to come to terms with the loss of his boyfriend Stuart, but the effervescent Charlie is determined to bring him out of his shell. Tim has spent eight years searching the globe for something meaningful, little realising that the girl of his dreams lives in his own home town -- surely nothing could be easier than winning her heart? Told from three different perspectives, Lawless Heart reveals the comic and subtle realities of modern relationships. UK, 2003, 99 min., 35mm
Directors: Neil Hunter and Tom Hunsinger
