Straw Dogs |
Sam Peckinpah / 1971 / GB / 118 min - cert.18 / Dustin Hoffman, Susan George, David Warner, plus lots of familiar British character actors | Dustin is a shy mathematician newly married in a remote Cornish village to local beauty Susan George. When the local bully boys start getting out of control, all hell lets loose. Cut by the BBFC for its rape scene, and loathed for its gratuitous violence, in hindsight it's another Peckinpah masterpiece. |
