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.

Harvey Keitel gives a good performance in this film. However the script is way to over the top and is a mess. There are a few crazy scenes and some weird ones. Overall this movie is disappointing.

Hayatında, bulunduğu konumda ve düzende niçin var olduğunu bilmeyen, yoldan çıkmış, uyuşturucu bağımlısı yozlaşmış polisin ve kirli bir şehrin rahatsız edici, sert bir portresi. Bad Lieutenant, Abel Ferrara'ın altın döneminden bir başyapıt. Harvey Keitel'ın performansı kusursuz.

You have to watch the uncut version on DVD. The traffic scene especially is butchered. "You ever suck a guy's cock? Huh? You ever su- Look at me! Look at me! You ever suck a guy's cock? Lemme see how you do it. Lemme see you do it. Show me your mouth when you suck a guy's cock." The girl in the passenger's seat showing her ass was Keitel's daughter's babysitter!

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.
