Who's next

Summer of Sam

(1999)
The best and worst of Spike. The best: the narrative web, the invocation of time and place, the understanding of the group dynamic of paranoia, and oh, my, the music. The worst: the lack of subtlety and the encouragement (particularly here in John Leguizamo and Mira Sorvino) of performance instead of acting.
