One of the most underrated and misunderstood films of all time. Yes, it’s brutal, sleazy, and violent. However, it is also one of the most brilliant character studies ever. Joe Spinell manages to make a horrendous figure deeper and more tragic than your usual movie killer.
“It is only when we have renounced our preoccupation with “I,” “me,” “mine,” that we can truly possess the world in which we live. Everything, provided that we regard nothing as property. And not only is everything ours; it is also everybody else’s.”
— Aldous Huxley, The Perennial Philosophy (via thirdity)
