| Bilgi :All of the events of the infamous New York City summer of 77 (mainly, but not exclusive to, the Son of Sam killings) are seen mostly through the eyes of Vinny, a philandering Bronx hairdresser. Until that summer, Vinny sees himself as king of the old neighborhood--hes a disco king, drives a nice car, has the respect of his old buddies, and is married to a beautiful woman who seemingly doesnt know of his affairs. However, during that important summer, his world slowly falls apart. Two things happen early on that will permanently change his life. First, he believes he had a near-fatal run-in with the Son of Sam while "parked" with his wifes cousin. Next, his old best friend Ritchie returns to the old neighborhood as, of all things, a punk rocker. As the events of that summer slowly unfold, Vinny ultimately loses his wife, his job, and the respect of his old buddies. The movie concludes with Vinnys betrayal of Ritchie, whom the other neighborhood buddies suspect is the Son of Sam.New York, estate del 1977. Il clima è torrido, e non solo atmosfericamente. Dopo il movimento punk in odore di ribellione, con le canzoni dei Sex Pistols e dei Clash, è arrivata la "febbre del sabato sera" ed i giovani vogliono ballare e divertirsi. Arriva uno strano e non programmato blackout elettrico ed inizia a farsi vivo, per le strade del Bronx, un pericoloso serial killer (denominato SON OF SAM), che semina il terrore nella città. A questo punto, gruppi di italo-americani, guidati dal padrino Luigi, decidono di condurre una loro guerra privata al maniaco, per difendere il quartiere. Ma non tutto fila liscio, perché i vigilantes ne approfittano anche per cercare di liberarsi degli indesiderati, primi fra questi proprio i punk ribelli. |
