Soho at 3am has never looked more beautifully diseased.

Direction

Neil Jordan makes sleaze feel like tragic opera.

Best for:Solo: Late night, rain on windows, whisky optional but recommended.·Streaming: Criterion Channel, obviously. You have taste, don't you?

Heads up:Sexual Content: Sex work depicted explicitly; power dynamics are the real horror.·Violence: Sudden bursts of working-class brutality, mostly off-screen but jarring.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Bob Hoskins won Best Actor at Cannes for this and immediately retired his tough-guy persona—said playing George broke something in him.

Cultural

This is essentially Neil Jordan's love letter to British social realist cinema colliding with American noir—think 'Get Carter' directed by someone who actually cares about the working class.
