Sexy Beast

Directed by Jonathan Glazer

Award-winning commercials and pop promo director Glazer brings his distinctive style to the British gangster film. In a powerful performance, Winstone plays Gary, a villain happily retired with his wife to the Costa del Sol. But his past comes to haunt him in the form of a psychopathic ex-colleague (Kingsley) who is absolutely determined to get Gary back to Britain for that one last, legendary heist – at all costs. Glazer’s richly varied experience and stylistic innovation is apparent in every frame and in the soundtrack of this exciting new British film.

This film was chosen by Peter Hook of New Order, for our 20/20 VISIONS seasons to celebrate our 20th birthday in 2005.
