Review of Light Sleeper (1992) by Mike Clark for USA Today — 09 Dec 2003
This doesn't have the high style that made Taxi Driver or American Gigolo instant cultural icons - although Schrader shows more than a few traces of Scorsese as his camera creeps- perhaps because it's concerned with a chilly 90s that looks back with a sort of nostalgia on the cocaine-fuelled craziness of earlier years.
But it does develop powerfully the themes of Schrader's earlier work and will not disappoint his fans.
