M.I.A. on Region 1 DVD Tribute Month (Film 26) Operation Screenshot (Films of the 2000s): Abel Ferrara's Go Go Tales (2007)

Currently only available on DVD in Europe, Go Go Tales (2007), Abel Ferrara's stunning updating of John Cassavetes The Killing of a Chinese Bookie is arguably the great maverick director's finest film since The Addiction (1995). Featuring one of the great ensemble casts of the decade (Willem Dafoe, Asia Argento, Bob Hoskins, Matthew Modine, Sylvia Miles, Burt Young, Lou Doillon, and an extraordinary Stefania Rocca), Ferrara's caustic black comedy stands among his greatest and most humane works. Its current absence in the States is a slap in the face to one of our greatest and most daring filmmakers.
