Storia
Antonia, an aristocrat's daughter addicted to heroin, meets Mike, a drifter who initially helps her procure drugs but later tries to help her overcome her addiction. Antonia and Mike become involved romantically despite their differing backgrounds. Mike faces the challenge of helping Antonia kick her habit while dealing with her high-class dealer, who is connected to a corrupt narcotics cop. The dealer uses Antonia as a scapegoat for a crime, putting her in danger.
Riassunto
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.
