True Romance (Tony Scott, USA, 1992)

  • The Oak and Pastor 86 Junction Road N19 5QZ United Kingdom (map)
Made with such energy, such high spirits, such an enchanting goofiness, that it’s impossible to resist.
— Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Sparks fly when lonely pop-culture nerd, Clarence (Christian Slater), falls in love with inexperienced sex worker Alabama (Patricia Arquette). But when Clarence's romantic gesture (telling her drug-crazed pimp that Alabama will no longer be working for him) goes awry, the pair of star-crossed lovers find themselves in possession of a suitcase of mob-owned cocaine, and they quickly hatch a plan which will hopefully save their asses and make their fortune... Featuring a brilliant screenplay by Quentin Tarantino and scene-if-not-film-stealing cameos from the likes of Dennis Hopper, Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken and an pre-Sopranos James Gandolfini, True Romance is, quite simply, FUN! from start to finish and the best film Quentin Tarantino never made.
