This is my favorite movie

Nope! As a matter of fact, it's one of my favorites as well!

It's a film that doesn't get the love it deserves and I can see why it doesn't as I explain below.

It's far bleaker then it's French counterpart The Beat That My Heart Skipped, the kind of film that you could only make in cinema in the 70's. I could imagine feminists kicking up a fuss about how women characters are treated in the film, one of the reasons why this film isn't more well known. I think The Beat That My Heart Skipped is a better film for me cause Harvey Keital character is somewhat redeemable and is shown with more depth then been just a straight out thug. Plus the ending isn't as anywhere near as bleak as in Fingers and more hopeful. But I think both films made great counterparts imo.

Keital is fantastic, as is Michael V Gazzo as his father. The soundtrack of 50's and 60's tunes is great. And it's great spotting all the future Sopranos cast members in the film. I like to see it getting a Criterion Collection release. It's a flawed film but I love it for it's flaws.
