Review of China Girl (1942) by Andrew M — 20 Oct 2007
On the surface, a remake of Romeo & Juliet (or West Side Story, depending on your values), but stunning cast (save the near-wooden but attractive leads) and Ferrara's brilliant, sleazy and dangerous New York City atmosphere make it breathe and live.
I am totally in love with Ferrara's New York...He makes me actually believe it IS the centre of the universe, whereas other filmmakers merely piss me off with their city's self-promotion. A great film.
