Night-Flowers

A.K.A Night Angels, 10/10 (star choice). A mind-blowing picture that that was produced in the same year as 'Taxi Driver' (1976) but without a true, charismatic anti-hero such as Travis. 'Night Flowers' concerns the terrible plight of two dead-beat 'Nam' Vets, who have little chance of getting any serious employment. Stars Gabriel Walsh (also the scriptwriter), who plays a really disturbed, Irish American called Tommy and Jose Perez in the role of a crazy Hispanic, called Nordi. A true example of the forgotten art of film making, with a slow burning pace and one of the best directed films Iv'e ever seen. One good reason to still own a video tape machine (as not sure if can be obtained on DVD) and nothing will ever be made like this (ever again). Directed with no style (only class), by Luis San Andres. What a film, albeit a truly disturbing one. Authentic at every turn.
