Mathilda has always been a character that stuck with me.
Her story is heartbreaking. She is a child who has been forced to grow up far too quickly, but there is still that innocence underneath it all. In the middle of this world she was born into, she finds a guardian in Léon - flawed and unconventional, but someone who for the first time protected her.
No matter your thoughts on the films themes and relationships...It's cult cinema at its finest.
