Synopsis

The Loveless tells the story of Vance (Willem Dafoe) and his gang, stranded in a small countryside town in Southern USA. The young bikers escape boredom and summer heat tinkering with their bikes, downing beers and listening to rock n ‘roll. The local population becomes quickly exasperated by their presence... Willem Dafoe made his unforgettable movie debut as the leader of a 50s biker gang lost in a world of black leather, bad girls and sudden violence in the independent hit that marked the emergence of one of modern cinemas most important woman directors. Rockabilly icon Robert Gordon co-stars in this evocative drama co-written and co-directed by Kathryn Bigelow and Monty Montgomery (producer of WILD AT HEART and TWIN PEAKS) with a too-cool soundtrack featuring original music by famous rockabilly musician and co-star Robert Gordon. John Lurie from The Lounge Lizards and Eddie Dixon also contribute to the soundtrack.

Critics' reviews

"Filmmakers Bigelow and Montgomery, working from their own screenplay, deliver a meandering, uneventful drama that grows less and less interesting as it progresses"

David Nusair: Reel Film
"Its evocation of tough-guy glamour is ridiculously stilted. And it regards the past with absolutely no perspective or wit."

Janet Maslin: The New York Times
"At times the perversely slow beat of each scene can irritate, but that's a reasonable price for the film's super-saturated atmosphere."

Geoff Andrew: Time Out
