Bad Lieutenant

Stupendous movie. Watched as a reward for finishing midterms. Great music and acting. Harvey Keitel brings it all together. One of the best actors of his generation, and this is him at his best. This movie moves like you wouldn’t believe, it flies by. All the scenes I remember are just as great. Zoe Lund really shines in her small role. This guy is just such a mess. Ferrara commits and Keitel does too. It’s like a Safdie joint but the bullet hits the bone dude. LT is ultimate egoism and the Nun is ultimate altruism. The way she acts is baffling but it’s Christlike. It doesn’t make any sense to us but I guess it did to him. Such a great movie. Watching the heroin scenes knowing it’s not simulated: ew.
