For want of a nail a shoe was lost, for want of a shoe... a young man's life is almost lost, which is exactly what this film is all about: a man barely twenty who wants desperately to pull out of London's drug world by taking a job as a waiter in a 'normal' restaurant. But to do this he must come up with a "sensible pair of shoes," an item that his homeless meanderings hasn't provided him. In fact, the shoes become a symbol of his striving to break away from those, like himself, who are caught up in the tragedy of drugs and lasciviousness which is so aptly described... sometimes graphically, always realistically... in this film.

Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzNot as bad as it seems, nor as good as it aspires to be.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 4/10 by Ken HankeProves that what was most special about the Frears-Kureishi collaborations was Kureishi.
User Review - 8/10 by Dean SThis movie is akin to the many films out of Britain and Ireland in the 80s and early 90s -- [i]Trainspotting[/i], [i]That Sinking Feeling[/i], etc. -- following a group of misfits for a few days of their lives with no real specific central plot. Personally, I've always enjoyed this type of film which tells the story through character development rather than a domineering story or special effects. The lead character, Clint, survives (barely) a childhood filled with physical, emontional and sexual abuse. At 20 he's fallen in with a crowd of similar outcasts who deal street drugs for the money and to support their own habits. Clint's best friend, "Muffdiver," leads the group through strength of personality, even though Muffdiver is just as lost as the rest of them. Muff Diver wants to be a big time dealer, seeing that as the only way to get he and his friends off the streets. Clint, on the other hand, dreams of getting a job and leading a "normal" life. One thing I really liked about this movie, which I didn't even realize until it was over, is that there are [b]no flashbacks[/b]. We don't need to see images of Clint being abused, we don't need to see what happened to Muffdiver, Sylvie, or any of the others earlier in their lives. What's relevant is who they are now, today, what the events of the past have caused them to become. I had originally bought this movie because it was one of Naveen Andrews' first films. He plays a member of Muffdiver's group, an odd character named "Bike" who seldom speaks, dresses in early '70s Mod, and is never separated from his bicycle. Each of the members of Muffdiver's group is an interesting character, in their own way, each having a story that we don't necessarily need to know in order to guess at. The great Roshan Seth has an odd supporting role as a 'New Age' guru who is, perhaps, the first person in Clint's life to show him compassion without expecting anything in return. Except for the characters' accents and that they're constantly drinking tea, this film could just have easily been set in the urban U.S., or urban anywhere I suppose. The characters and their stories are just as relevant today as they were in 1990. These are people that you either know, or drive by on your way somewhere.
User Review - 8/10 by Fran Sune sorte de trainspoting avant l'heure et une galerie de personnages très attachants. vu sur arte il y a des années. un excellent souvenir.
User Review - 6/10 by Kathy HWeird and ultimately hopeful. That said, it was around 3 in the morning when I first saw it.
