Vasquez specialized in gritty, often graphically violent dramas dealing with street life in the Bronx. Vasquez's most critically acclaimed film, Hangin' With the Homeboys (1991), won him a special script award at the Sundance Film Festival. Just before Vasquez died of complications from AIDS, he completed Manhattan Merengue, a complete turnaround from his other films in that this was a romantic musical about an illegal Puerto Rican immigrant trying to make it as a dancer in New York. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
