Mad Dog And Glory (1993)


An uneasy film, with uncertain performances from the three leads. De Niro acts as if to say: what next, after Goodfellas and Cape Fear? (I'm not sure he has the answer yet). Uma Thurman hasn't quite worked out how to be Uma Thurman. But Bill Murray begins to develop the nuanced weariness that finally hits the mark in Rushmore and Lost In Translation.

Philadelphia (1993)


The last great message picture. A relic of the Clinton era. Bliss it was in that dawn to be alive.
