The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976)

Cosmo Vittelli, the proprietor of a sleazy, low-rent Hollywood cabaret, has a real affection for the women who strip in his peepshows and the staff who keep up his dingy establishment. He also has a major gambling problem that has gotten him in trouble before. When Cosmo loses big-time at an underground casino run by mobster Mort, he isn't able to pay up. Mort then offers Cosmo the chance to pay back his debt by knocking off a pesky, Mafia-protected bookie.

Perhaps the greatest, most accurate delineation of masculinity and how paralyzing it can be.

I ain't going to talk a whole heap about this because I just wrote a 3000 word essay on it; it's fucking amazing. See it.

As slick as Cassavetes gets, baby! Ultra-cool, stylistically gone over with a fine toothed comb, you won't be used to noir like this. Really had my heart pounding at times, jeez!

Cosmo Vitelli could very well be the most interesting character I have ever encountered in a film, due to both his severe amount of intricacies and his severely realistic depiction of a "man". This is only a film that Cassavetes could have done, as the sheer amount of truth and realism within the story would have most directors turning this into some abortion of melodrama and gangster film (thank god Brett Ratner never went through with his remake). This is a film that many will hate, as it is not a film has an easy to find message, it is not fast paced and it is not a good versus evil story (in the typical sense). I for one, find it to be cinematic gold and one of the best character studies ever made (along with A Women Under the Influence and Love Streams, two other Cassavete films).

Definitely a trudge, a long one. But well worth it. Cassavetes has captured everything that the 1970s stands for in my imagination: tight shirts with big collars, sleezy strip clubs, tight pants, and a rather slow decade with little in the way of excitement, but somehow it seems okay relative to the 80s.
