This has got to be one of my favourite movies ever, the writing is excellent and really makes you want to invest in the story and the characters. Uber violent and massively un-compromising, darkly funny with moments of gentle sweetness. This in my opinion is one THE most underrated movies of all time, Notting Hill Carnival day is the backdrop for the 1 day that it takes to bring the characters into contact with each other in glorious chaos and confusion with varying degrees of success and failure and lots of dark humour, the movie has so many funny, clever and quotable lines I must have watched this film 100 times and I still laugh out loud and enjoy every minute of it. The description on the front cover "Laurel and Hardy directed by Scorsese" is absolutely spot on.
