FULL MONTY

This Film is a blend of Comedy and Drama with similar tone and theme to the movies Raining Stones (1993) or Brassed Off (1996).

The film has a deeper message about economic dilemma between need and self-respect. The protagonist is subject to choice between the line of survival or stripping. Directed by Peter Cattaneo together with screenwriter Simon Beaufoy generate enough human drama to connect with American as well as English audiences.

This was a low-budget production but seemingly a surprise hit with the American Motion Picture Academy, which was nominated for 4 Academy Awards, including Best Pictures.
