Shopping
No one leaves without paying...
Directed by Paul W. S. Anderson
Produced by Film4 Productions, Kuzui Enterprises
A kinetic, nihilistic portrait of urban underclass youth for whom destructive crime is both sport and rebellion against a barren, anonymous society.
A dark, hip, urban story of a barren and anonymous city where the underclass' sport of choice is ram-raiding. An exciting game in which stolen cars are driven through shop windows to aid large-scale looting before the police arrive. For Tommy, it's a business, but for Billy and Jo, it's a labour of love. As the competition between Tommy and Billy grows more fierce, the stakes become higher and the "shopping" trips increasingly risky.
