General Note
"After a series of smaller film roles in the early 1970s, Bob Hoskins broke through to international acclaim in 1978 with the BBC TV series Pennies from Heaven, followed by a gripping performance a year later in The Long Good Friday. Subsequently, Hoskins would star in a wide range of productions, from his Oscar-nominated role in Mona Lisa to Steven Spielberg's Hook, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Cotton Club and The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne. Recent roles include playing a serial murderer in Atom Egoyan's Felicia's Journey and Nikita Khrushchev in Jean-Jacques Annaud's Enemy at the Gates"--Container.
General Note
This four disc set is available for check out in two separate volumes. Volume 1 contains The long Good Friday and Mona Lisa. Volume 2 contains The lonely passion of Judith Hearne and The raggedy Rawney.
Description
The long good Friday: Mob boss Harold Shand runs an underworld empire but his dreams are much bigger. He and his sophisticated moll (Oscar winner Helen Mirren) aspire to turn the barren docklands of London into a development for the upcoming Olympics. But their perfect plan begins to unravel in this taut, riveting thriller.
Description
Mona Lisa: Bob Hoskins in his breakout performance--for which he landed an Oscar nomination--as George, a working class hood whose growing obsession with the exotic and cunning Simone will lead him down a dark and bloody path.
Description
The lonely passion of Judith Hearne: Brilliant performances from two-time Academy Award-winner Maggie Smith and Bob Hoskins highlight this richly emotional tale of a lovelorn spinster and the man who will either change her life forever, or break her heart one last time.
Description
The raggedy Rawney: Shell-shocked by his first experience of battle, a young army recruit goes AWOL and is taken in by a band of gypsies. The bonds of family and the power of love are pitted against the chaos of war in this evocative drama directed and co-written by its star, Bob Hoskins.
