- Summary:
- Post-war East End London. Ronnie and Reggie Kray are school-ground bullies brought up by a domineering mother and two devoted aunts. National Service and spells in prison expose the brutality that helps establish the twin brothers as the kings of 1960s gangland London.
- Philip Ridley's original, uncut screenplay, almost as notorious as its subject matter, is a stylized meditation on maternal love, childhood, violence, and homoeroticism and takes its place as one of the masterpieces of contemporary British cinema.
- Winner of the 1990 Evening Standard Film Award for Best film.
- "Ridley ... reveals himself most welcomely as a genuinely innovative filmmaker, untrammelled by conventions and with an individualistic imagination firing on all cylinders."-The Evening Standard
