Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ferrara shot this in 1995 while still battling heroin addiction, which explains the raw, unvarnished desperation bleeding through every frame.
The film flopped commercially but became a touchstone for the '90s indie crime wave that rejected Scorsese's romanticism for something closer to Greek tragedy.
