Bad Lieutenant (1992)
Harvey Keitel portrays a New York City police lieutenant who takes advantage of his position in order to steal, take, and sell drugs, and who in addition has a major gambling problem. He investigates the rape of a nun, but is even more preoccupied with betting on the National League Championship Series between the New York Mets and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Between these two events, his life seems to be plunged in directions beyond his control.

Unexpectedly slow & atmospheric character study in a decadent time and place. Keitel's search for transcendence through profane and sacred things (church) leads him to the final act of sacrificing his life to the young Puerto Ricans. Ferrara's style is an odd combination of B-Movie, crime genre and transcendental style based on banality and sacrifice. One of those unique characters and films, which stays with you no matter how perfect or flawed it's executed. "Show me how you suck a guys cock."

The movie itself is not that great but holy shit Harvey Keitel seems to pour his soul into the role. The ending kind of fell flat for me.

Ferrara's lurid sweaty mess somehow comes off as a sincere expression of Catholic guilt & spiritual torment in its most violent & destructive extreme. It's a real character/mood piece in which everything revolves around a core idea often to brilliant effect, but the narrative can feel as redundant as some of the symbolism & dramatic effects. Uses baseball, church & police as cornerstones of some depraved American purgatory that incidentally reaches its miserable conclusion under a Trump sign.

Among the last vestiges of that seedy New York the cinema knew so well in the 1970s and 80s. Between that rough city portrait, the presence of Keitel, and its Catholic comeuppance theme, it may be easy to dismiss this film as a mere imitation of Scorsese. That might be true if its convictions weren't so sincere. These up-close depictions of vice and depravity contain the distinct ring of authenticity.

only ferrara would hang a redemption arc on something so hilariously blunt as a nun forgiving her rapists, but it sort of works? mainly because the filmmaking feels so instinctive, with abel and keitel just feeling their way through the drugged out haze.

Very sad attempt to be edgy (in 1992, not 1962!). Do lots of drugs. Full frontal male nudity. More drugs, but now really slow and almost like a documentary. Fucking religion. Jesus! More drugs. Blah blah. Crying man. The more I think about it the more I hate it. My second Abel Ferrara and the second time I feel only anger towards his pretentiousness.

It's the Harvey Keitel show (in more ways than one) and his strange energy as cop going off the rails makes it all work despite how thin everything that isn't Keitel is.

Harvey Keitel gazes into the abyss in one of the grittiest and saddest character studies in cinema. Guided only by his Catholic guilt--and misguided by just about everything else--Keitel attempts to navigate his existential despair to no avail, embodying a deeply tragic figure if there ever was one. Real, heavy, dark shit.

Gritty as fuck. Keitel's performance is one for the ages, and he makes the titular character believable, even though some of the scenes would have seemed ridiculous in less capable hands. It's very clear that people involved in making the movie were intimately aware with the New York drug scene at the time.
