The Crying Game (Bfi Modern Classics)

Rating:
Summary: in depth look at TGC history and production
Review: PROS: Good chapter on director Neil Jordan's background and
artistic interests. Apparently, the love triangle is among his favorite themes to explore. Very detailed chapters on UK and American audience and critical reaction. Interesting tidbits about the producer's (Stephen Woolley) desperate ploys to get
funding.

CONS: I wanted a lot more information about Jaye Davidson's
audition. The book mentioned that he was tricked into it, but
I'd like to read comments from him. Would also like more information about some of the minor characters (Col the bartender played by Jim Broadbent and Maguire played by Adrian Dunbar).
Too short at 80 pages.

OVERALL: This should be mandatory for all TCG fans!
