Synopsis
The Crying Game (1992) is Neil Jordan's thriller, and you can watch it online on iFILM. An IRA volunteer named Fergus is told to guard a captured British soldier, Jody, and against every rule the two men start to talk like friends.
When the kidnapping ends in disaster, Fergus walks away from the cause and slips into London to keep a promise he made Jody: find his girlfriend, Dil. She cuts hair by day and sings in a smoky club by night. They fall for each other fast. Dil has no idea who Fergus really is, and Fergus has no idea about a secret of Dil's that changes the whole story. Stephen Rea, Miranda Richardson, Forest Whitaker and newcomer Jaye Davidson carry every scene.
Jordan built the film around a twist audiences in 1992 were begged not to spoil, and the screenplay took home the Oscar. It is a story about loyalty, desire and identity, where politics gives way to one man's choice. Stream The Crying Game online on iFILM.
