The Crying Game (1992)

The Crying Game (1992) An unlikely kind of friendship develops between Fergus (Stephen Rea), an Irish Republican Army volunteer, and Jody (Forest Whitaker), a kidnapped British soldier lured into an IRA trap by Jude (Miranda Richardson), another IRA member. When the hostage-taking ends up going horribly wrong, Fergus escapes and heads to London, where he seeks out Jody’s lover, a hairdresser named Dil (Jaye Davidson). Fergus adopts the name “Jimmy” and gets a job as a day laborer. He also starts seeing Dil, who knows nothing about Fergus’ IRA background. But there is something about Dil that Fergus doesn’t know, either. ??Eugene Kim Awards: 22 wins & 46 nominations totalBudget: £2,300,000 (estimated)Worldwide Gross: $62,548,947Soundtrack: When A Man Loves A Woman (Composed by Cameron Lewis and Andrew Wright)
