The Fruit MachinePhilip Saville, 1987 Film DescriptionDirected by BAFTA-winner Philip Saville (The Life and Loves of a She-Devil), The Fruit Machine tells the story of two adventurous gay teens who go on the run from the bleak and dismal reality of 1980’s Liverpool, only to find themselves in the strange and fantastical world of transvestite nightclub The Fruit Machine. There they witness the brutal gangland murder of transvestite hostess Annabelle, played by Robbie Coltrane (Cracker), forcing the pair to run from both an underworld assassin and the police. Alone and in fear of their lives, the youths find themselves in Brighton, thrown into the arms of a gay opera singer and his manipulative manager.
Far more than just a touching love story between two teenage boys, this classic British film touches on themes of sexual uncertainty, shattered dreams, the destruction of innocence, and even animal rights. ReviewsShare your thoughts - write a review Related Genres
