Summer of Sam
Newly Added
•
2h 22m
Directed by Spike Lee • 1999 • United States
Starring John Leguizamo, Adrien Brody, Mira Sorvino
Spike Lee’s fever-pitch vision of murder, mass hysteria, and machismo run amok charts the escalating paranoia within an Italian American Bronx neighborhood during the sweltering summer of 1977 as the Son of Sam serial killings turn neighbor against neighbor and the lives of two childhood friends—John Leguizamo’s wannabe Tony Manero and Adrien Brody’s wannabe Sid Vicious—spin out of control. Punk, disco, gay panic, Studio 54 sex parties, Catholic guilt, cocaine, baseball: Lee blends it all into a totally wired, darkly comic hit of pure cinema.
