Yes, The Driller Killer is about a killer who uses a gnarly power tool to dispatch his victims. But it’s much more than an ultraviolent, controversial video nasty — a denigrated status which moral panic disseminators tried to paint the film upon its release. Ferrara’s “legitimate” feature film debut (he previously made a porno film under a pseudony...
Grimy, relentlessly provocative, stylish, and transformative, it is a minor miracle that Ms .45 remains this watchable in this day and age. A revenge thriller in dialogue with its contemporaries (Taxi Driver) and influential in its wake (Kill Bill), our title vigilante is Thana (Zoë Lund, involved in the conception of her character from the start),...
Simply, it's Romeo and Julietwith Italian gangs and Chinese gangs. But in this simplicity, this primal scream of love among a pain-stricken world, Ferrara finds the strongest emotional pull of his career yet. China Girl is a tactile, heartfelt, and wholly gripping picture, feeling more vital and alive than any "star-crossed lovers" fil1ms in its wa...
This just might be Ferrara’s most purely effective play into “mainstream” cinema. But even then, King of New York plays with a sense of sparseness and grimness not seen even in any of its peers during this mini golden age of crime cinema (New Jack City, Goodfellas, and Deep Cover are just some of the similar films released in this early ‘90s period...
If King of New York is one of Ferrara’s most “mainstream” works, Bad Lieutenant is where his “mainstream” and “art-trash” sensibilities collided the most purely, arguably becoming the director’s most well-known film. Bad Lieutenant feels like Ferrara tapping back into the impulses and aims of The Driller Killer, with the slower, more prestigious cr...
King of New York plays accessibly for wide audiences, but still feels like a natural extension of what we’ve seen the director do thus far. Body Snatchers, on the other hand, is a brief dip of the toe into an alternate reality where Ferrara becomes a completely different director, a filmmaker fully subsumed by the mainstream studio system wandering...
My favorite Ferrara films tend to keep their allegorical, philosophical, and religious explorations purely visual, while keeping their characters’ dialogue purposeful only to what’s in front of them, allowing their audience to connect the dots. There are obvious exceptions to this formula, i.e. Keitel screaming at a literal deity in Bad Lieutenant....
As its title suggests, The Funeral is often elegiac in tone, and classically, reverently constructed. But grief manifests itself in many curious ways, and Ferrara is not in any way interested in covering up these pains, regrets, and need for cosmic justice with any kind of "adult drama nominated for Best Picture" sheen (another alternate career I c...
Unlike many of Ferrara’s other films, which start from a place of interior darkness and only get exacerbated by the exterior world’s darkness, Pasolini is centralized around a desire for lightness and pleasure — even as the surrounding world gets darker and darker. The film is a biopic of sorts, of influential, notorious Italian director Pier Paolo...
Siberia contains some of the best edits of Ferrara's career, careening explosively from the plaintive, quiet pleasures of an ideal life to the shocking, brutal, phantasmagorical horrors that cannot help but intrude. Willem Dafoe continues his Ferrara collaborations as a man who operates a little-visited bar on the outskirts of a frozen tundra, befo...
