Review of Rumble Fish (1983) by Pamela D — 11 Jul 2010
Coppola's weird gang films like The Outsiders don't resonate with me -I guess being a girl, there's something about them I just don't get -but I thought Rourke's role in Rumble Fish was a showcase of his talents for playing that sort of seedy, shady character that he does so well.
The rich tonal range of the photography, and the portrait-like composition of the shots in Rumble Fish really magnified Rourke's skill, the way sugar brings out the flavor of sour cherries in a home-baked pie.
