| Bilgi :An Easter story. Frank is a Manhattan medic, working graveyard in a two-man ambulance team. Hes burned out, exhausted, seeing ghosts, especially a young woman he failed to save six months before, and no longer able to save people: he brings in the dead. We follow him for three nights, each with a different partner: Larry, who thinks about dinner, Marcus, who looks to Jesus, and Tom, who wallops people when work is slow. Frank befriends the daughter of a heart victim he brings in; shes Mary, an ex-junkie, angry at her father but now hoping hell live. Frank tries to get fired, tries to quit, and keeps coming back, to work and to Mary, in need of his own rebirth.Frank Pierce is a paramedic working Gothams Hells Kitchen. Hes become burned out and haunted by visions of the people hes tried to save.48 hours in the life of a burnt-out paramedic. Once called Father Frank for his efforts to rescue lives, Frank sees the ghosts of those he failed to save around every turn. He has tried everything he can to get fired, calling in sick, delaying taking calls where he might have to face one more victim he couldnt help, yet cannot quit the job on his own.Martin Scorsese torna alla sua New York, buia e disperata, piena di poveri e disgregati, di violenza metropolitana e di strade pericolose e senza speranza. Tratto da un libro di Joe Connelly, il film racconta di tre notti nella vita di Frank Pierce, autista notturno dambulanza in un Pronto Soccorso ospedaliero piuttosto drammatico e violento. Una fauna notturna di emarginati, incidentati, folli, alcolizzati e criminali, tutti da curare e da salvare. |
