King of New York 30th Anniversary Video Essay
This video looks back at Abel Ferrara’s existential gangster classic “King of New York” starring the ever magnetic Christopher Walked as Frank White.
Ferrara delivers a very stylish movie brimming with detail but underneath it’s glossy surface is a signature tales of darkness which explores the cost of power, the value of time wasted and one of Ferrara’s favourite themes - the search for redemption. I also take a small detour and look at the films lasting legacy and influence on cinema and music as well. Long live the King. Let me know what you think in the comments.
