This is one of my favorite passages from Roger Donaldson‘s The Bounty (’84). It contained Daniel Day Lewis‘s third screen performance, and the first that attracted limited attention.
The seven notable films that Lewis appeared in during the ’80s are my all-time favorites of his — The Bounty, My Beautiful Laundrette, A Room with a View, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Stars and Bars amd My Left Foot, which resulted in his first Best Actor Oscar. (I’ve never seen Eversmile, New Jersey — has anyone?)
The increasingly choosey DDL made only five films in the ’90s, although all of them were utterly first-rate — The Last of the Mohicans, The Age of Innocence, In the Name of the Father, The Crucible and The Boxer.
