Alfie
2004
In this update of the 1966 Michael Caine classic, Jude Law plays the irresistible and self-centred London lothario Alfie, who drifts through a series of relationships with women while remaining incapable of genuine commitment or self-reflection. The film transplants the character to contemporary New York and London.
