The Winner(Movie, 1996)

The Winner is a 1996 film directed by Alex Cox and written by Wendy Riss based on her play A Darker Purpose. Most noted for its quirky cast (Vincent D'Onofrio, Richard Edson, Michael Madsen, Billy Bob Thornton and Frank Whaley) and art department, including production designer Cecilia Montiel. The film was substantially re-edited by its executive producers, Mark Damon and Rebecca De Mornay, and the original score – by Cox's longtime collaborators Pray for Rain – was replaced by a jazz score. Cox requested that his name be removed from the credits. ()
