The Crying Game - The Criterion Collection (Blu-ray)

IRA volunteer Fergus (Stephen Rea) befriends British soldier Jody (Forest Whitaker) during a kidnapping operation in Northern Ireland. Before Jody dies, he asks Fergus to look after his girlfriend Dil (Jaye Davidson) in London. What follows is a romantic thriller of extraordinary emotional and moral complexity — a film about desire, identity, loyalty, and the terrible cost of violence, built around one of cinema’s most celebrated and surprising reveals.

Neil Jordan’s Academy Award-winning masterpiece — winner of the BAFTA for Best British Film and the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay — arrives in a new Criterion Collection presentation with extensive bonus materials.
