STORMY MONDAY d. Mike Figgis, 1988 + Q&A with the director at The Garden Cinema (24 JUL 19:30).

“Award-winning British director Mike Figgis’s first movie is a neon and rain-drenched noirish thriller set in Newcastle. The film stars Tommy Lee Jones, as the hawkish property developer/gangster Cosmo, trying to carve out a profitable chunk of the town; Melanie Griffith and a very young Sean Bean, as lovers Kate and Brendan who are drawn into a bitter turf war; and Sting as the ambivalent jazz club owner, Finney. All accompanied by a cool jazz soundtrack (written by Figgis), Stormy Monday is an evocative slice of late 80s British film-making.”

“After the screening, we will be joined by Mike Figgis for a Q&A about the development and production of the film, which opened the door to Hollywood, where Mike went on to make the celebrated Internal Affairs and Leaving Las Vegas.” (The Garden Cinema)
