Leon was a groundbreaking independent hit which has subsequently become a minor British cult classic. Made on a then-shoestring budget by the producing-directing team of Gary Sinyor & Vadim Jean, it was one of the first U.K. feature films to directly explore British-Jewish culture... the result being a landmark comedy which sold round the world and garnered a handful of prestigious awards.
