Review of Bad Lieutenant (1992) by Jonas J — 20 Jun 2009
Keitel I suppose earns two full stars for a bold portrait of a man in complete destructive freefall. Juvenile directing gives WAY too much erotic screentime to its sex scenes (most of which are abusive).
We have: the rape of a nun; our titular bad lieutenant spying on the nude nun (who by the way looks like she stepped out of Playboy magazine) in her hospital room after the rape; our titular bad lieutenant in an orgy with two prostitutes (one of whom may or may not be male); our titular bad lieutenant sexually accosting two young women who have stolen a car.
If you want to get your rocks off on kink, this movie will accomodate you. I prefer regular porn: the sex scenes are longer. Here's hoping Herzog's version is an improvement.
