Such a hidden Scorsese gem. I watched this again the other night and it was still hilarious. It strikes me as a superb exploration of the nature of the Straight Man as a comic device. Another filmmaker might have dialed back the Scorsese-staple stylistic silliness which rubs us the wrong way here and there; but what they almost undoubtedly would have failed to capture is the Straight Man in all his frail harried sane erring purity.

Slow to start but ultimately rewarding dark comedy set one night in 1980s New York City. Griffin Dunne obviously had a good time with this film, and some of the supporting roles (namely Teri Garr and Catherine O'Hara) are chuckle-worthy.

As a New Yorker, I love this, but even before I got into the city, I saw this as a kid in 85 on HBO. I was terrified to go into the city, lol. But, years later, I saw it again, and couldnt believe what a great cast and insane story it had, yet, it all meshed and worked. Pacing is never a problem, acting is fantastic and it's just like a movie where you feel like if you watch at 2AM you are moving right along with the timeline.

MCT:May 15, 2008I really enjoyed this the first time I saw it. On second viewing, however, I realized what a miserable, mean-spirited, depressing film this is. A pity because, with just a few tweaks, it could have been something special.

Pour apprécier ce film, il faut être réceptif à la subtilité de son humour. C'est une comédie, mais pas au sens strict du terme. Il n'y a pas de gags à proprement parler. C'est simplement la situation du personnage principal qui est d'une absurdité à la fois déconcertante et hilarante. Pour ma part du moins, j'ai trouvé ça très drôle.
Scorsese y développe les techniques de caméra qui feront la gloire de films comme GoodFellas et Casino. C'est extrêmement bien filmé, les plans sont très habiles et agréables à l'oeil. Une bonne brochette d'acteurs qui interprètent autant de personnages névrosés et sordides qui se mettront dans les pattes du protagoniste. Définitivement une touche volontaire de Kafka dans le scénario; j'ai même cru déceler un clin d'oeil ou deux.
