Een mysterieuze Italiaanse schoonheid leidt een spannend dubbelleven: 's avonds als de keiharde gewelddadige B.Monkey en overdag als de charmante en mooie Beatrice. Overvallen zijn dagelijkse kost voor B.Monkey. Niets en niemand is veilig voor dit losgeslagen monster. Geen genade, geen respect, alleen het resultaat is belangrijk. Zelfs voor vriendschap is nauwelijks plaats, tot ze Alan ontmoet. Weg uit dit gevaarlijke leven, vluchten is de enige gedachte. Haar oude criminele 'collega's' zullen dit niet toelaten, ze volgen haar en eenmaal gevonden zal haar eigen leven niet meer veilig zijn.

B. Monkey Ratings & Reviews

EnochLight4 januari 2025
What do you get when you throw in a fairytale romance with a seedy 90's-era crime noir? You get B. Monkey, with a fantastic performance by Asia Argento and Jared Harris. While not without its missteps, this take on love-versus-lust and the development of commitment between two very unalike people is a pleasure to watch. The late 90's represented a fantastic era for film soundtracks, and this forgotten gem does not disappoint. From its classic jazz featuring Chet Baker, Django Reinhardt, Peggy Lee and a host of others, to its trip hop (oh hey, Portishead and Curve!) and glam (Suede!), the music is just a cornucopia of classics. The job of "hospital DJ" may or may not have been a thing, but had I been a patient under the watchful ear of DJ Alan Furnace, I would have fallen asleep peacefully every night. Jonathan Rhys Meyers is practically baby-faced but does a worthy job of portraying the broken Bruno, and Rupert Everett as the slimy but cultured Paul Neville feels like a natural. But it's 23 year old Asia Argento that owns this film. If you'd never heard of the legendary Dario Argento's daughter until this film, you will become an instant fan. Jared Harris is excellent as the lovelorn Alan Furnace, and it's a far cry from the role he played in "Last of the Mohicans" as a British Lieutenant just 6 years earlier. Overall, "B. Monkey" represents a time when films were made with blisteringly relevant soundtracks and a topic that could only be done in the 90's. I miss films like this.
