Britainology 83: Sexy Beast (2000)
Added 2024-05-24 12:41:41 +0000 UTCFor this month's first Britainology, we examine an unambiguously good (and strange) British crime film: Jonathan Glazer's 2000 debut SEXY BEAST. Why is the film so atmospheric and detached? Why is Ben Kingsley so good at being an ultra-geezer? Is the plot saying definitively that Ian McShane had to let James Fox top him in order to learn about a bank vault? All this, and more.

There's an introduction by Ray Winstone to a BFI screening of Sexy Beast on Youtube, interestingly he says that what the script really captured for him was the difference between a gangster (Don Logan, Teddy), and a Thief (Gal).

He has history with all of them, also he seems like the uncool kid that didn't fit in with the group because he was a psycho đ Gal impressed him with his physique and the birds loved him, his wife was a porn star, Jackie stuck her finger up my arse in the middle of all that, and H the useless cunt, to Don he wanted to fit in with them, he wants what they have, lying in your pool laughing at me! I won't let you be happy why should I!
