Starring the UK's leading man Academy Award Nominee® Jude Law (The Talented Mr. Ripley, Cold Mountain) as the cockney womaniser Alfie, this reinvention of the classic 1966 Michael Caine film transposes the character onto modern day New York and into a world of high-society and dominant woman.

Alfie, released by Paramount Home Entertainment on 21st February 2005, follows Law's character through his day-to-day routine of working as a chauffer, debating about which style of clothing suits him best and seducing woman in various locations throughout the urban sprawl.

Law struts through Alfie's life with all the guile and self-assuredness of a man who knows what he wants and how to get it. The excellent and often hilarious dialogue crackles with biting wit. The women in Alfie's world pose innumerate problems for him and represent a subversive element in his otherwise tightly ordered life. This battle of the sexes, played out in the stylish bars and across the fast-paced social scene of New York, represents a rabbit-warren of dilemmas and moral implications that echo throughout social circles around the world.

Alfie is a superb re-make that develops the themes from the original and explores the implications of a man living in a moral vacuum. The stunning supporting cast that includes Academy Award Winner® Susan Sarandon and Oscar winner Marisa Tomei (My Cousin Vinny, In The Bedroom) help establish the film as an intelligent and ambitious piece of cinema that introduce a new audience to the world of Alfie and his women.
