Description: A dysfunctional young man is pulled between loyalties to his Italian mob-connected loan shark father and his mentally disturbed Jewish concert pianist mother.
This hard to find, RARE film is well worth the watch. Kietel gives an amazing, painful performance as a brilliant pianist whose self-destructive neurosis seems to keep him from ever achieving greatness. The film has been called mysognyistic most likely due to the portrayal of little Jimmy “Fingers”. I’d have to say the film itself deals a fairly rough hand to the character’s mysogny. Jimmy’s social ineptness with women is painful to watch. He alternates between the utmost charm and just plain disturbing street thugishness. All in all it’s a powerful film and one of Kietel’s best performances.
