Riepilogo
Mad Dogs and Englishmen (1995), directed by Henry Cole, is a British drama-thriller that explores themes of drug addiction, class disparity, and the power of love. Set within high society, the film follows Antonia, a heroin-addicted aristocrat's daughter, as she forms an unlikely connection with Mike, a tough drifter who initially enables her habit but later tries to help her overcome it. The film combines elements of romance, mystery, and thriller, with a narrative that draws parallels to 'Leaving Las Vegas'. While the specific details of Antonia's involvement in a crime vary between sources, they agree that Mike must navigate the treacherous world of drugs and corruption to save the woman he loves.
