How Nostalgic does Mona Lisa with Bob Hoskins make you feel? Rate below.
Mona Lisa the film was nominated for an Oscar and Bob Hoskins performance won many other awards. It tells the tale of a man released from prison who is given a job as a driver for an up-market prostitute. It’s very London – though, the seedy side thereof. The film is well shot and shows a bustling 80′s London. Simone’s long grey oversize coat is sooo 80′s it’s unbelievable. Also, her afro tied to the side is also a long forgotten hairstyle .The cars are old, as is Michael Caine’s cigar smoking pimp. The cockney accents remind me of Grange Hill. I don’t think anyone would dream of using quite so much saxophone in their soundtrack anymore. Check out the old-school sauna. So 1980′s.
