Welcome to New York
The film that shocked the Cannes Film Festival, while famous directors around the world were cheering Abel Ferrara's - a doomed genius if there ever was one - return to form. Only this time around, he was feeling a little too sarcastic, as the storyline was based on the Dominique Strauss-Kahn scandal, the IMF's former director who was a little too fond of hotel maids.
Devereaux (Gérard Depardieu in his best performance in recent years) controls billions of dollars and has an insatiable thirst for power, sex and money, but his world comes tumbling down overnight after a controversial event.
Doomed genius Abel Ferrara returns to top form with a heavily sarcastic film, descending into a world of debauchery, inspired by the Dominique Strauss-Kahn sex scandal, the International Monetary Fund's former director. An incredibly amusing piece of filmmaking, made to look like a cross between a b-movie and a political cartoon. T.Th.
