Go Go Tales Series: The 45th New York Film Festival [Sep 28 - Oct 14 2007] Director: Abel Ferrara, Country: USA, Release: 2007, Runtime: 96 The future of the Paradise Lounge may ride on tonight’s New York lottery drawing, but there’s no question that Abel Ferrara hits the jackpot with this outrageous and unexpectedly poignant comic fantasy about a disheveled strip club owner (Willem Dafoe) striving to keep his doors open in the face of potential bankruptcy. Go Go Tales crackles with vaudevillian showmanship, impromptu musical numbers and live-wire performances from Dafoe, Bob Hoskins, Sylvia Miles and Asia Argento (duly heralded as “the scariest, sexiest girl in the world”). Consider it Ferrara’s wistful valentine to a pre-gentrification Big Apple, and to his own unlikely longevity as an American maverick. Preceded by Death to the Tinman, an offbeat take on man’s duality and sacrifice in the name of love. Ray Tintori, USA, 2007, 12min.
