Edmond, starring William H. Macey and based on Mamet's play. A powerful, if difficult to watch, story about a man (Macey) sent on the road to perdition. He is racist and violent, but Macey's humanity still makes you want to like him. As shocking and original as it was 20+ years ago on stage, I dare say. The film's innovations are mostly to open up the locations, but also plays with Tarot symbols to good effect, turning this into a fevered dream.

Excellent mood piece. One of Stuart Gordon's best films, despite being among the lesser known ones.Siskoid
