MCT:December 13, 2007a truly gritty and superb street drama of which i haven't seen the likes in years. it's a trip of destruction for all the characters and the subtle showing of how there still is some hope no matter how bad things get. jennifer jason leigh provides the totty with a rack view... and burt young plays the archetypal italian american father. well done to all the cast really. superb acting. never heard of uli edel but will be on the lookout for anything else he's directed

This is so beautiful
I can'tbegin to imagine the amount of controversy the novel would have stirred up in the 1960's
Considering the amount of homophobia and sensitivity in society even in modern times Selbys focus on issues such as violence, gang rape, homosexuality, transvestism and domestic violence show the authors revolutionay perception of human nature.
the novel was the subject of an obscenity trial in the united kingdom and banned in Italy. -

I've heard it's far inferior to the novel by Hubert Selby Jr, but there's a lot of room between that and a bad movie.
With an actress as dedicated as Jennifer Jason Leigh, it shouldn't be too bad. Although she doesn't look like I'd imagine her character to do from the book, I'm sure she and the rest of the cast will pay a decent homage to this classic American work.
