Perdita Durango |
Alex De La Iglesias / 1998 / Spain/US/Mexico / 122 mins / cert.18
/ with Rosie Perez, Jarvier Bardem, and a sackful of hip cameos. |
Long awaited adaptation of Barry Gifford sequel to Wild At Heart focusses on the crazy female gangster and Tex-Mex temptress Perdita (played by Isabella Rossellini in David Lynch's film) in a surreal, lunatic road-trip involving kidnap and shipment of stolen foetuses. Outrageous comic book violence ensues. The first English language film directed by Iglesias of Day Of The Beast and Action Mutante fame. A cult classic in the making.
